Challenges with the addition of NVIDIA module
Jan 9th 2013, 16:40

I generated Linux 3.7.1 by the approach "S.A.K.C. 2.78" on my openSUSE Tumbleweed system successfully. It uses a specific output directory.

Now I have got the challenge to add the driver for my NVIDIA graphics card there.
  • It seems that "tricks" are needed to point the corresponding installation script to an usable header file "version.h".
  • If I try the following command
    Code:

    Sonne:~ # sh /home/elfring/geladen/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.64.run--kernel-source-path=/home/elfring/Projekte/Linux/linux-stable --kernel-output-path=/home/elfring/Projekte/Linux/Bau/kernel/linux-3.7.1 -a
    in a console, I get still an error message.
    Code:

    If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
    you either have configured kernel sources matching your
    kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
    on your system.

    If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
    you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
    installed on your system. If you specified a separate
    output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
    the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
    directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
    the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

    Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
    kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
    their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
    the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

    Installation has failed.
