__modver_version_show undefined error when building linux kernel 3.0.4 version
- by Jie Liu
I tried to build the linux kernel 3.0.4 on ubuntu 11.10 in virtualbox. Here are my steps:
Download the source code
tar xjvf linux-source-3.0.0.tar.bz2
cd linux-source-3.0.0
make menuconfig, changed nothing but used the default config and save to .config
make
Actually I think it should be 3.0.4 because from the Makefile I could see
VERSION = 3
PATCHLEVEL = 0
SUBLEVEL = 4
EXTRAVERSION =
Then at stage 2 which is to make modules, an error happened:
ERROR: "__modver_version_show" [drivers/staging/rts5139/rts5139.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
make: *** [modules] Error 2
Perhaps because 3.0.4 is a new release so that I can not find any same problem asked nor any solution to it.
