[Pkg-dkms-maint] dkms reports failure

Mon Aug 2 14:35:25 UTC 2010

Hello,

I'm trying to use dkms for iscsitarget package which builds a kernel module.

On installation, this is reported:

19:56:50 rrs at champaran:~/Community/Packaging/pkg-iscsi/iscsitarget  (dkms)$

Consult the make.log in the build directory

Where as, the build log looks fine:

This is the dkms.conf file:

20:01:15 rrs at champaran:/var/lib/dkms/iscsitarget/1.4.20.2/build $ cat 
dkms.conf 
PACKAGE_NAME="iscsitarget"
PACKAGE_VERSION="1.4.20.2"

M=${dkms_tree}/${PACKAGE_NAME}/${PACKAGE_VERSION}/build clean"
AUTOINSTALL=yes
BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]="iscsi_trgt"
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]=/kernel/drivers/iscsi

Manually triggering the build also fails:

20:02:23 rrs at champaran:~ $ sudo dkms build -m iscsitarget -v 1.4.20.2

Any ideas what could have gone wrong ?
