Missing {Kernel Source}/Documentation/lguest on ver 3x under debian linux.
Hi...
I have been trying to compile version 3.0.4, 3.1 rc6 and 3.1 rc7 of the linux kernel obtained from github and have tried to compile several times with the same results each time.
I am missing a directory called {Kernel Source}/Documentation/lgue
If I copy the missing folders from a known viable source to the new source and then compile, will this even work? or am I asking for more problems with adding possible instabilities with different kernel versions?
Thanks,
John

It looks like a documentation file which didn't get checked in correctly. Copying it from a different source tree is not likely to cause any problems.
Do you have Documentation/virtual/lgue
It was in linux-3.0 that I fetched from ftp.kernel.org some time before they went off the air, and that built fine.

@eager:
I will definitely give that a try. My only concern is if that did not get checked in, what else did not make it :)
@duncan_roe:
I tried retreiving the source for 3 different 3.x sources from github and all three do not have the same files (so far).

I'm definitely not familiar with GIT. I'm more familiar with subversion. Is there a way to compare the two source trees, say 2.6.39 and 3.1 rc7, and get the files from 2.6.39 that 3.1 rc7 is missing?

My mistake... did not see the "virtual" let me check

Yes, the Documentation/virtual/lgue

I don't know of a way to compare two different git repositories, but git has a large number of functions. It's possible that you might find one if you go a search.
I generally compare trees by doing "ls -R" on each tree, sorting the output, and diffing the result.

OK...
I copied the lguest files from the virtual folder ---- Was not a good idea. Below is the result of the compile:
Ok,.. so I am going to try and do a GIT difference (dont even know if this is even possible) to add the folders i am missing. AHHHH,... CRAP!!! I dont think that will actually work.
Any other Ideas?

OK,... I am definately not a C programmer (more of a C#, ASP.NET programmer), but will try and change the include line from:

Thanks again.
include "../../include/linux/lguest_launcher.h"to:
