Hi, I am a wary5 user. I found three/four different packages on kernel source/header in the below links. 1. linux_header_t2-2.6.32.pet at http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/ 2. linux_kernel-2.6.32-40-w5.pet at http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/ 3. linux26-2.6.27.47-w5.pet at http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/quirky/pet_packages-wary5OLD/ 4. kernel_src-2.6.32.59-patched.sfs at http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/quirky/sfs/ what is the defference between these four package names? What do each one contain? 1. linux_header 2. linux_kernel 3. linux26 4. kernel_src When what is needed? Which one is needed to compile vbox?

hi snayak it's the kernel_src.sfs you need to compile vbox. and it needs to be the same kernel version as the puppy you are using. to check your kernel version go to the......... menu > system > hardinfo and click on the 'operating system' tab, to show your kernel version _________________ Quickpet_Precise, install popular apps quickly http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=83642 LÖVE2d, a collection of 27 lua gameshttp://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=76739 |

Dear 666philb, Many thanks for your reply. When we use linux_header? Does devx contains linux_header?

Not sure about the kernel header packages : /usr/include/linux from the pup_5_devx.sfs should include the headers and their syntax configuration for the current used kernel . The kernel source includes a ./include directory . These ./include files are the ones i often use now . Because of not being configured the issue warnings about this . linux_header are used for compiling hardware related apps like Xorg drivers or file system drivers, mostly non-gui things like shared libraries or command line tools .

Many thanks Karl. Now I see what is the difference. _________________ Machine: Wary 530, AMD Athlon 2000+, ASUS A7N266-VM board, 512MB DDR RAM, 40GB HDD, 52xCDRW, PS/2 Mouse/Keyboard, USB 2.0. Home: http://www.mathmeth.com/sn/ Blog: http://srinivas-nayak.blogspot.com/ |
