[hcflinux] Re: Problems installing 5.03.03.L3mbsibeta02062500

[Brian Dolan]

Hi,

 I have just downloaded 5.03.03.L3mbsibeta02062500 but I'm having
trouble installing it and I wonder if anyone can help?

 I am running Slackware linux with Kernel 2.2.16 on a SONY VAIO
notebook PCG-F807K which has a Conexant HSF winmodem.
I have previously installed hsflinmodem-4.06.06.02mbsibeta02022600
and it installed and ran OK but the system would hang when I hung up the
modem, so I wanted to try a newer version.  Here is what I did:

I downloaded hsflinmodem-5.03.03.L3mbsibeta02062500.tar.gz
and ran tar fxz on it.  When I ran "make install" (as root)
there was a problem because the file /lib/modules/2.2.16/build did
not exist (the directory /lib/modules/2.2.16 is there, of course).
I tried changing the file modules/common.mak so that

KERNELSRC= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build

was changed to

KERNELSRC= /usr/src/linux

"make install" then ran without any obvious errors.

Then there was a problem with hsfconfig because pm.h was not in
/usr/src/linux/include/linux but in the source
directory for the pcmcia module, which was in a different place
because I had previously upgraded the pcmcia modules (I am currently
using pcmcia-cs-3.1.23).  I copied
pm.h into /usr/src/linux/include/linux so that linuxres.c
could find it.

But hsfconfig still gives an error and it is not specific
enough for me to guess what to do next.  Here are the
contents of /tmp/hsfconfig-buildlog.txt:

Please can anyone suggest what to do?

Thanks
