Nvidia Legacy won't build on kernel 2.6.20.3

badagentx · 03-26-07, 12:32 PM

I'm running Slackware 11.0 with kernel 2.6.20.3 with smp support. I'm using Xorg version 6.9.0 and KDE 3.5.

search google to see how to go about the following error - you just need a sample config.h file to get it to compile.

Code:

In file included from /root/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg1/usr/src/n
   v/nv.c:14:
   /root/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv-linux.h:17:26: li
   nux/config.h: No such file or directory

Also if you encounter other build errors e.g 'failed to build nvi2c.o' or something like that - search for a patch on google. basically, google is your friend

You're right. I've found out how to fix it on another user's post in which they have the same problem. Apperantly I have to save my .config with a different name, run make mrproper, and copy the .config file back and build the kernel over again.
