It works for Red Hat, the message is: msg := $(warning No libdw.h found or old libdw.h found, disables dwarf support. Please install elfutils-devel/libdw-dev); And, as you say: [acme(a)doppio git]$ rpm -ql elfutils-devel /usr/include/dwarf.h /usr/include/elfutils /usr/include/elfutils/elf-knowledge.h /usr/include/elfutils/libasm.h /usr/include/elfutils/libdw.h /usr/include/elfutils/libdwfl.h /usr/include/elfutils/libebl.h /usr/include/elfutils/version.h /usr/lib64/libasm.so /usr/lib64/libdw.so /usr/lib64/libebl.a [acme(a)doppio git]$ If you have a better phrasing to avoid such misunderstandings, please send a patch. - Arnaldo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ |
