how to install a .c file in mandrake 7.2 ?

[lowvibes]

hi
i found the driver file for my usb network adapter.. its a "pegasus-0.4.15.c" file
but i dont know how to install it.

this is my first time using linux. can someone help me with step by step information on how to install this driver please. or link me to a website where i can learn how to. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif

hello,
that .c file should have come with some other stuff... like a Makefile...

the driver will need to know about your system, what kernel you are using, where stuff is, the Makefile takes care of much of this.


that said if the is no Makefile find out where the .c file came from and find out what options need to be passed to it with ld or gcc. try posting this to the programming and script depot too.

A drive/module file should have the compile command specified in it.You might want to edit the source file and look at the bottom for such compile option.If none is found,you need to supply options from your kernel (that are specific to your kernel,cpu,arch...) most likely it will be the ones from make module_install.Hope this helps.

Very true, thanks for pointing that out (I had forgotten). An easy way to check the bottom is to

tail pegasus-0.4.15.c

That will display the last 10 (I think) lines of the file. If there is anything that begins with gcc, then that is the compiler command. If you're confused about it, then just post the output of the above command (the tail) here and we will help.

Ah hell... I thought I posted an answer to this already? ... another forum maybe ... lemme go check.

I have always used this command to compile all of my modules. As root type:
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -06 -c driver.c This should create a driver.o file for you, then just issue this as root:
install -m 644 driver.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net/
(thats all one line) you should then be able to issue this as root:
insmod driver
Hope that helps you... Oh you will need the kernel source instaled to do this.

hi,

from the tail pegasus-0.4.15.c
this is the results i got


int __init pegasus_init(void)
{
info( "%s", version );
return usb_register( &pegasus_driver );
}

void __exit pegasus_exit(void)
{
usb_deregister( &pegasus_driver );
}

module_init( pegasus_init );
module_exit( pegasus_exit );


i opened up the whole file in a text editor and didnt find no gcc command anywhere


when i tried as anti_seen said
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -06 -c pegasus-0.4.15.c

I got errors and warnings

Strike when i tired gcc -D__KERNEL__ pegasus-0.4.15.c -c -o pegasus.o

i got the error message "gcc: no input file"
i did 'dir' to see if the driver was in the directory i was working in and it was.


this is the web address i got the driver file from http://www.dce.bg/~petkan/

maybe there is another driver on the site i can use? http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif

Okay, I should have checked my ordering, but anti_seen even remembered to do the whole MODULE thing so his should have worked okay (I just told you my command wrong, sorry http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif). I guess, print the error messages and warnings... I'll see if I can compile it.

[Strike]

This is all I got:

pegasus-0.4.15.c:1030: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
/tmp/ccVel2Y2.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccVel2Y2.s:26: Warning: Ignoring changed section attributes for .modinfo
And these are OKAY. Here's the command I used:

gcc -DMODVERSIONS -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -c pegasus-0.4.15.c -o pegasus.o

Note, you have an extra thing there (-DMODVERSIONS, without it it will only run on 2.4.0-test12 apparently). So, compile with that command, and then su to root and type insmod pegasus.o. If you get stuff like:

pegasus.o: unresolved symbol eth_type_trans
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol __wake_up
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol __kfree_skb
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol alloc_skb
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol init_etherdev
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol kmalloc
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol usb_deregister
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol usb_free_dev
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol unregister_netdev
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol usb_inc_dev_use
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol usb_register
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol usb_set_configuration
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol interruptible_sleep_on
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol kfree
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol netif_rx
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol skb_over_panic
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol usb_submit_urb
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol jiffies
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol softnet_data
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol printk
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol irq_stat
pegasus.o: unresolved symbol usb_unlink_urb

you probably have not loaded your USB driver stuff yet and need to (for more info, post back http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif).

[PLBlaze]

Try this:


gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -DMODULE -c -o pegasus-0.4.15.o pegasus-0.4.15.c


Keep in mind that this is for kernel 2.4.0 and specific to my system,yours may avry but it never hurts to give it a try.If you're still get errors then cd to /usr/src/linux and exec make modules,copy the compile command and try again.Hope this helps.

hey Strike i did as you say but i got errors http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif i got alot of errors and warnings.
these are what i got . i can't connect to the internet unless i get my network adapter to work so i keep having to reboot into windows. so the format of the messages got a little messed up.

Keep in mind that this is for kernel 2.4.0 and specific to my system,yours may avry but it never hurts to give it a try.If you're still get errors then cd to /usr/src/linux and exec make modules,copy the compile command and try again.Hope this helps.


i got the same errors when i tried this ..

[lowvibes]

I don't know if this might help.
I am using linux mandrake 7.2
I didnt update anything yet so i think the kernel is 2.2.17.

Do you think updating to the recent kernel might help? If so can you tell me how to ? I think that might be easier.


Geez I feel just how i felt when i first got a computer and didn't know a thing about windows 95.

lowvibes - yeah, you need to upgrade to something with USB support. AFAIK, the USB stuff was back-ported to 2.2.18, but I'm absolutely sure it is in 2.4.0 - use 2.4.0 unless you have a reason to stick with the 2.2.x series (for me, it's that my vid card drivers only work with this series ... supposedly, we'll see http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif), and if you are going to use 2.2.x kernels, grab the latest one (I think 2.2.18 is the last stable/non-test one, but there are some 2.2.19pre__ kernels out there that might work).

Try this one,it should compile on any 2.2.xx series kernel

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict- aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m386 -DCPU=386 -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h -c pegasus-0.4.15.c

Hi! me again http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

i'm watching the thread since i will install my usb adapter also http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/wink.gif

Keep on trying http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

this is my first time using linux. can someone help me with step by step information on how to install this driver please. or link me to a website where i can learn how to. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif

[lowvibes]

hey
i have been trying for a day now to install the most recent kernel but i always get an error message when i arrive up to the make bzImage command... i keep gettin the same message if i use make zImage or make Install. these are the command i excuted to try and install the new kernel

1. cd /usr/src
gzip -cd linux-2.4.0.tar.gz | tar xfv -

2. cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper

3. make config

i configured the kernel and choose the pegasus driver which is included in this kernel [got my hopes up ]

4. make dep

then when i did "make bzImage" or "make zImage" i keep getting this error


[root@localhost linux]# make bzImage
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/split-include
scripts/split-include.c
In file included from /usr/include/errno.h:36,
from scripts/split-include.c:26:
/usr/include/bits/errno.h:25: linux/errno.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [scripts/split-include] Error 1


i am new to linux so i dont understand these error messages .. what directory or file is it looking for? is it looking for errno.h?
i made sure that file was in the bits and linux folders and it was ...
what does this error mean...

Hold on, there was a post detailing all the stuff you need to get for 2.4 to compile right, I'll find it (or some other docs) and link it in a bit.

----edit----
I can't seem to find it, I remember modutils and ksymoops being on there, but not the other things

Too much effort has gone into this post to let it fall by the wayside (read: the second page), so...

To me it looks like a problem with symlinks...I'd try to start again with kernel compilation...in this order:

get or unpack the kernel
cd /usr/src && tar xvyf linux-2.4.0.tar.bz2 \
mv linux linux-2.4.0 && ln -s linux-2.4.0 linux \
cd linux && make distclean && make mrproper \
make xconfig

Once you pick the options and configure,save and exit then make dep bzImage modules modules_install.

Now,someone should write updated kernel NHF specific to 2.4.0,seeing many posts with problems that grasshoppers have it would be nice to have a revisted NHF.

Did you get it working?

[lowvibes]

i wasnt home for a couple days .. im now going to try and look for these other stuph and recompile the kernel ..first i'll try wut blaze says to do..

Since i've spent some time on helping in this thread i went ahead and built the modules that come with 2.2.18 and 2.4.0 kernels without problems on my slack box.If you'd want the modules my addy is in the profile...

On a side note i've noticed that 2.2.18 has version 0.4.13 and 2.4.0 has 0.4.17 where later one depends on pegasus.h file .Now i wonder if you'd rename your pegasus-0.4.15.c to just pegasus.c and try the compile commands alone,maybe it would work.Let us know your findings.Again hope this helps.

Mandrake has always been pretty good at getting new packages on their ftp site. Have you seen if the kernel update and your USB module are listed in the Mandrake Update thingy-ma-jig??? It's pretty much like apt-get and Corel Update for Mandrake compiled RPM's, you might have better luck checking this out.

[lowvibes]

well i am starting to think that i am not ready to move to linux now ...


Strike i went to that other forum and tried to do what it says but i have no luck ...
first it says to install ksymoops but when i try to i get errors .. everything goes well in the install up the the point when i have to execute the command "Make Install"

then i get that
errno.h.36 error again saying no such file or directory ..

i checked the linux-mandrake update site but it has nothing.

i wonder if i install another distrubution if it would be any better .. or maybe i shouldn't move to linux just yet ..

You don't seem to have the kernel include files. I'll see if I can find what package those are supposed to be and post a link.

[lowvibes]

a new package posted on one of mandrake site has an updated patched 2.4 kernel that supports supermount and the pegasus driver for my usb network adapter .. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
