Re: [openss7] Compiling strss7-0.7.4

Patrick,

Looks like something strange in your /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
file.  There appears to be 4 releases there instead of one.  Check the
file.  The Makefile looks for a line in the file like:

	#define UTS_RELEASE "2.2.12-20"  <---------
                    ^^^
	#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 131596
	#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))

For this the makefile uses a little awk command:

VER = $(shell awk -F\" '/REL/ {print $$2}' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h)

Works fine for me on a 2.2.16 kernel and a 2.2.18 kernel, so you must
have something funny in the file.

If you can't get around it, you could comment the lines with $(VER) in them
out in the Makefiles and the modules will just install in /lib/modules/misc.
