Re: [Ltib] How to check linux header files availability before compiling ?

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Franz,

I normally use this in the .spec file %build section:


%Build
KHDR_DIR=$DEV_IMAGE/usr/src/linux/include
if [ ! -f $KHDR_DIR/linux/autoconf.h ]
then
    cat <<TXT

No file: $KHDR_DIR/linux/autoconf.h

You need to build the kernel and have 'Include kernel headers' set
to build this package

TXT
    exit 1
fi

Regards, Stuart
