binary headers packages are missing include/generated/compile.h

Bug Description

include/generated/compile.h

is missing but exists in Debian linux header packages

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 942569

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

This header is a generated header, one which is only built when the main binary is built. This means it is not normally in the general header build we make. Need to figure out what is in it and whether we can just regen it, or it needs linking to the one in the main build.

Basically the content of that file is not that important to fix kernel modul build failures. A 0 size file is enough for that. Best consider adding that fake header file until the generated ones could be added. See patch.

Looks likely the best thing here is to slurp up all the generated headers from the main build and copy them over.

Confirmed via testing that all other generated headers are correctly built and included in the headers, therefore we can actually just copy this one missing header. Patches on the list.

The attachment "touch-fake-header.patch" of this bug report has been identified as being a patch. The ubuntu-reviewers team has been subscribed to the bug report so that they can review the patch. In the event that this is in fact not a patch you can resolve this situation by removing the tag 'patch' from the bug report and editing the attachment so that it is not flagged as a patch. Additionally, if you are member of the ubuntu-reviewers team please also unsubscribe the team from this bug report.
