Just now , I try to install the Jungo WinDriver in the Ubuntu 13.10 . But I am puzzled by the its manual of how to Install version.h :

Install version.h:

The file version.h is created when you first compile the Linux kernel
source code. Some distributions provide a compiled kernel without the
file version.h. Look under /usr/src/linux/include/linux to see whether
you have this file. If you do not, follow these steps: Become super
user: $ su Change directory to the Linux source directory:
# cd /usr/src/linux Type:
# make xconfig Save the configuration by choosing Save and Exit. Type:
# make dep Exit super user mode:
# exit

But the shell says:

warning: make dep is unnecessary now.

Then, I found out there is a version.h in /usr/src/linux-headers-3.11.0.12-generic, so I type:

/usr/src/windriver/redist# ./configure --with-kernel-source=/usr/src/linux-headers-3.11.0.12-generic

But, the windriver run fails:
