Unable to make scripts after Kernel update

[berturion]

Hello Igor,
I used your great script to build a 4.1.1 kernel only. I installed it on an existing jessie os that I took from your blog post with kernel 4.0.5. The new 4.1.1 kernel is now installed with headers... etc but, as I need dvb-usb-dib700 module for my PlayTV tuner, I need to compile the module it and to do so, I need to make scripts from the directory /usr/src/linux-headers-4.1.1-cubieboard2. Unfortunately the result is this:

 CHECK   usr/include/video/ (3 files)
  CHECK   usr/include/xen/ (4 files)
  CHECK   usr/include/uapi/ (0 files)
  CHECK   usr/include/asm/ (34 files)
  CHK     include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
  HOSTCC  scripts/sortextable
scripts/sortextable.c:31:32: fatal error: tools/be_byteshift.h: No such file or directory
 #include <tools/be_byteshift.h>
                                ^
compilation terminated.
scripts/Makefile.host:91: recipe for target 'scripts/sortextable' failed
make[1]: *** [scripts/sortextable] Error 1
Makefile:555: recipe for target 'scripts' failed
make: *** [scripts] Error 2

Could you help me please ?

Use this patch on the top of headers tree
https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/next/patch/headers-debian-byteshift.patch

patch -p1 headers-debian-byteshift.patch

then make scripts again and it should be fine. I need to add this to the manual asap.

[berturion]

I am not sure to understand. I have done this:

cd /usr/src/linux-headers-4.1.1-cubieboard2
wget https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/next/patch/headers-debian-byteshift.patch
patch -p1 headers-debian-byteshift.patch

But nothing happens...

If I try:

patch -p1 headers-debian-byteshift.patch .

I have:

patch: **** read error : Is a directory

[berturion]

I realized that wget download the git html page of the page so I manually put the raw content of the patch in a file.
But the result of the patch command is the same, nothing happens... I don't understand.

[berturion]

Ok, sorry, I just googled a bit and saw that the command to apply a path is:

patch -p1 < headers-debian-byteshift.patch

The < was missing.

[igorpecovnik]

You made a mistake on patch downloading ;) RAW download not HTML.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/igorpecovnik/lib/next/patching.sh
patch -p1 < headers-debian-byteshift.patch
make scripts

The result:

 HOSTCC  scripts/dtc/dtc.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/dtc/flattree.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/dtc/fstree.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/dtc/data.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/dtc/livetree.o

Edit:
And my typo mistake, yes.

No problem, thanks a lot. Compilation is ok now.

Sorry for newbie questions but, I have another problem now. I try to compile linux kernel modules for my Sony PlayTV witch uses firmware "/lib/firmware/dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw".

So following instructions here http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers I was able to build them for my first kernel 4.0.5. But if I run again the build script (from linuxtv.org), now that I have a 4.1.1 kernel, it does it as if a had the old one. So the modules are built for kernel 4.0.5.

I don't know how to specify that I am now using 4.1.1 kernel.

I installed all the .deb packages that your building script generated and ran "make scripts" from the new kernel headers sources and reboot.

Maybe I miss something but I don't know what.

[igorpecovnik]

According to that script you need to specify where are your modules.

/lib/modules/[your kernel version]/kernel/drivers/media

they are here:

/lib/modules/4.1.1-cubieboard2

[berturion]

Ok, I had to run this before executing again there build script:

make distclean

Then:

./build

Now the building process identifies my kernel version correctly :)
