blcr-dkms 0.8.5-2.1: blcr kernel module failed to build [configure: error: Kernel source is configured uni-processor but the kernel symbol table is SMP.]

[Denis Telnov]

Failed during install blcr-dkms on 14.04 beta

Part of build log:
...
checking for SMP kernel source... no
checking for SMP kernel symbol table... yes
configure: error: Kernel source is configured uni-processor but the kernel symbol table is SMP. Consider specifying a symbol table with --with-system-map or --with-vmlinux. Or, if using kernel sources that are configured by /boot/kernel.h, you may try --with-kernel-type=SMP to force an SMP interpretation of the sources.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

It renders essential functionality of the package (or a dependent one) broken.

hi,

--- Comment #1 from Paul H. Hargrove <Xlbl.gov> 2014-08-02 03:36:20 ---
Joni,

BLCR still does not support any Linux kernel versions newer than 3.7.1.

So, the error message you see for a 3.13.x kernel is not significant in any
way.
Most likely something has changed in how to identify an SMP vs. uniprocessor
kernel.
If so, that will be resolved along with all the other changes to BLCR that will
be necessary to support newer kernels.

[Joni-Pekka Kurronen (joni-kurronen)]

Distribution version of blcr ( most likely a stub that only satisfies compilation depencyes but not functional ) made possible to compile programs. Acccording software programmers it's not redy for kernels newer 3.7 so it should not be used until done. So THERE IS NO FIX, you can compile programs against distributions blcr whitout getting blcr functionality.

FYI:

A beta release of BLCR 0.8.6 is now in Debian Experimental and should resolve this bug.
Hopefully once 0.8.6 is out of Beta, the Debian package will move out of Experimental.

[Joni-Pekka Kurronen (joni-kurronen)]

I have been running blcr beta version whitout crashes,... not tested full functionality yet.
Probelm fixed and waiting 0.8.6

[George Fisher (georgezappa)]

I am still getting the problem even though it says here that it has been fixed. So what's going on?
