Not build on feisty

[DjMix]

It won't compile on feisty (2.6.20-14). Package from debian sid compile ok

Could you post more explicitly how did that? I have a problem with sl-modem (bugs 92777 and/or 103072): ungrab_winmodem not found.
I did sudo module-assistant auto-install sl-modem but I got an error (see those bug reports). Now I see your bug report saying package from debian sid compiles ok and I want to test that but I don't know how so your help will be appreciated. Thank you

Sure! First, add in your /etc/apt/sources.list a reference to debian source archive:
deb-src ftp://ftp.it.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
Choose another mirror if you prefer. Now, update apt index:
apt-get update
Probably you have to instruct apt to take the debian version (older than feisty's), to do so add this to your /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: sl-modem-source
Pin: version 2.9.9d+e-pre2-8
Pin-Priority: 1001
Now you can use module-assistant to build up your module:
m-a a-i sl-modem
On my system it compile and work, but sl-modem-daemon is very unstable. Probably you should backport it, too. To do this:
apt-get build-dep sl-modem-daemon
apt-get source -b sl-modem-daemon
I hope it works...

PS I don't have tried this because the computer wasn't mine, I have done it in a hurry..

Thanks for your quickly answer but I've no lucky, I get the same error that I got with ubuntu sl-modem-source (bug 103072/92777): UTS_RELEASE undeclared.
If I edit kernel-ver.c and change the line #include <linux/version.h> to #include <linux/utsrelease.h> I get a lot of new error and I don't have more ideas to try ;-)

In any case, thanks again for your answer

Mmm I had switched to the debian package exactly for these problem.. no idea what else to do :(

I confirm this bug on my Feisty 7.04 with lastests updates.

try :
sudo module-assistant auto-install sl-modem-source

Other methods also fail, i try too :
method 1 : make and make install (FAIL)
method 2 : fakeroot ./debian/rules kdist KVERS=`uname -r` KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` (FAIL)

All with the same error report :
