    Hi, I'm a newbie to 
scratchbox so if I describe my system or use some terminology impropperly, 
please correct me.

The administrator of 
the company I'm working for installed scratchbox 0.98 on apc with linux suse 9.3 
os and 2.6.11.4-20a-default kernel.


Within scratchbox I 
created a target for arm and my task is tol compile a couple of open source 
softwares and drivers for arm processor.


Currently, I have no 
"true" arm based computer attached to the host machine, so I'm using the qemu 
emulator from within scratchbox.


One of the drivers I 
need to compile is a usb driver (ft245_driver-lin26-203).


Uncompressing the 
appropriate file, I don't get any configure script, just a Makefile and one C 
source file.


When I execute 
"make" I get the following lines:



make -C 
/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-20a-default/build M=/home/rafi/ft245 
modules


make: *** 
/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-20a-default/build: No such file or directory. 
Stop.


make: *** [default] 
Error 2


 



Generally speaking, 
there is not modules in /lib within scratchbox. This, through, does exist 
outside scratchbox.


What should I do 
now? does this exist in some other place so I can modify the makefile 
accordingly? or should I build the kernel from within scratchbox? Please, I need 
help here.


Thanks, 
Rafi.

make is trying to change its working directory into
/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-20a-default/build. I guess you have
this folder
in your computer ? If so, copy it
into your /scratchbox/users/<your user
name>/targets/<targetname>/,
then try again.

Shana Tova,

PS I recommend you to not  use scratchbox to compile kernel
modules
(i.e drivers).
It can be done, but why the hassle ? It is very easy to
cross compile
a linux kernel, or parts of it. Just ask in
kernelnewbiesnl.linux.org
how to do that.
