[hsflinux] Problem compiling modules for iBook G4

[Kieran Ryan]

Hi,

I am new to the list. I have been trying for some time to get the internal
modem working in my iBook G4. I know that it's a USB modem and from previous
discussion on this list it would appear that the Linuxant hsfmodem should do
the trick.

I am using Debian, problem is Linuxant only have .deb packages for x86
architecture. So I've downloaded the tar
hsfmodem-6.03.00lnxt04082400full.tar package.

I am getting the following error when trying to compile the hsfmodem modules:

hsfconfig output:
-------------------------------
No pre-built modules for: Debian-3.1 linux-2.6.8-powerpc ppc

Trying to automatically build the driver modules...
(this requires a C compiler and proper kernel sources to be installed)

Where is the linux source build directory that matches your running kernel?
[/usr/src/linux]

Building modules for kernel 2.6.8-powerpc, using source directory
/usr/src/linux. Please wait...

ERROR: Module build failed!
Please examine the log file "/tmp/hsfconfig-buildlog.txt" to determine why.

The build log says this:

Looks suspciously like this package is assuming a x86 architecture?? I
notice the file /usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/imported/makeflags.mak contains
this:
IMPORTED_COMPILATION_FLAGS = -O2 -march=pentium -ffast-math
-fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common
IMPORTED_TARGET = TARGET_HSF_LINUX
IMPORTED_ARCH = i386

-DUSE_ORCA_MODULATIONS -DNO_DUMPMGR_SUPPORT -DNO_BLAM_SUPPORT
-DFRAME_WORK_IMPORTED
IMPORTED_GENERAL_DEFS =
IMPORTED_DEBUG_DEFS = -DNOASSERTS -DUSE_TRACE_ONLY="T__FATAL_ERROR|T__ERROR"
-DUSE_TRACE
IMPORTED_BLAM_SUPPORT =
IMPORTED_SCR_SUPPORT =
IMPORTED_DMP_SUPPORT =
IMPORTED_FREE_VERSION = no
IMPORTED_BUILD_TYPE = full
IMPORTED_CNXTLINUXVERSION = 6.03.00lnxt04082400full

Does anyone have any ideas on this? Note: I have installed the kernel
headers in /usr/src/linux but since I'm using a debian kernel image I'm not
100% sure I've configured it correctly. (I've done a make mrpoper and make
oldconfig in the source directory which seemed to work ok and I can see ppc
specific links etc my make bzImage fails but I'm not sure this is required
anyway?)

Any help much appreciated...
