Hello,
This is a "I'm stumped kind of problem" and desperately need some
guidance with regards to the kernel make system..
I had also started a thread at
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=428551#post428551 with
regards to this, where I describe the context of the problem.
In a nutshell, I am trying to compile the Nortel VPN client (which is
written as part driver and part app) against the 2.6.14 kernel and I am
getting the following warning.
Warning: could not
find /usr/local/cvc_linux-rh-gcc3-3.3/src/k2.6/../.libmishim-2.6.a.cmd
for /usr/local/cvc_linux-rh-gcc3-3.3/src/k2.6/../libmishim-2.6.a
For some reason, the kernel make system does not seem to know what to do
with static libraries. It doesn't seem to create a .cmd for these
files.
1. Is this a normal warning when trying to link in static libraries
with the kernel make system? ie, the kernel make system does not create
a .cmd file for static libraries/archives.
2. Do they all still get linked in or is this a real problem? It seems
to warn on the first static library so I am assuming the rest of the
line is just abandoned. Is this a correct interpretation?
3. How can I clean up the warning? Is there a proper way to specify
static libraries to the kernel make system?
So far as I can tell, this is an interaction between the kernel make
system and the application I have and not distro-specific.
If you require any information, please do not hesitate to ask.

The full makefile for the kernel driver portion is below:
Makefile:
obj-m += mishim.o nlvcard.o
mishim-libs += ../libmishim-2.6.a ../libnlcmp.a ../libz.a ../liblzs.a
mishim-c-objs += linux_wrapper.o
mishim-objs += $(mishim-c-objs) $(mishim-libs)
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -fno-common -w
ifeq ($(KERNELRELEASE),)
KVER = $(shell uname -r)
ifeq (1,1)
KDIR = /lib/modules/$(KVER)/build
else
KDIR = /usr/src/linux-$(KVER)
endif
PWD = $(shell pwd)
mishim-cfiles = ${mishim-c-objs:.o=.c}
kmod_build:: $(mishim-libs) $(mishim-cfiles)
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules
@cp mishim.ko ../mishim.o
@cp nlvcard.ko ../nlvcard.o
%.c:
@ln -s ../linux_wrapper.c
clean:
-rm -rf *.o *.ko *.mod.* .??*
install: all
@echo "Installing VPN agent."
cd .. && ./install.sh
uninstall:
@echo "Uninstalling VPN agent."
cd .. && ./uninstall.sh
endif
