SubjectBug#771339: linux: linux-headers 3.16 Makefile contains VERSION=2 PATCHLEVEL=6
Message-ID<y7Qzn-3Ko-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
Source: linux
Version: 4.9.0 or 4.19... probably any
Followup-For: Bug #771339

Dear Maintainer,

This bug still exists in linux 4.9 and 4.19 (stretch, stretch-backports and
also buster)

Like the first reporter, I tried compiling the amdgpu driver provided by AMD
(through DKMS) and it is searching for the kernel version in that file.

As a workaroung in the meantime, I manually set VERSION to 4 and PATCHLEVEL to
19 in /usr/src/linux-headers-4.9.0-9-amd64/Makefile
or the equivalent for 4.19

They should be using "make kernelversion" instead of looking for
variable assignments the Makefile.

This is not even a Debian-specific problem any more.  Looking for
variable assignments in the Makefile will break whenever the kernel is
built out-of-tree (since Linux 4.20).

Oh, ok. Thank you for the tip.
