Figured it out. There was no .configure in the directory where I unpacked the source tarball. I got past that and ran into later compile problems so I am going to look for help on the DRI developer mailing list.
I think I am doing something pretty stupid, but I cannot see what is wrong. I am trying to compile and install the S3 Savage4 DRI module that is being developed. I downloaded the driver sources and the 2.4.22 kernel source. I am supposed to compile like this.
:/xc/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel# make -f Makefile.linux LINUXDIR=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.22-xfs
but I get this message
make -C /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.22-xfs SUBDIRS=`pwd` DRMSRCDIR=`pwd` modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.22-xfs'
The present kernel configuration has modules disabled.
Type 'make config' and enable loadable module support.
Then build a kernel with module support enabled.
make[1]: *** [modules] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.22-xfs'
make: *** [modules] Error 2
I figure Knoppix 3.3 kernel has to be using modules so it looks like the make file is confused. I looked at the source of the Makefile and it looks to be geared towards RedHat. Is this a problem with the layout of the kernel source in Knoppix or have I done something stupid?
