Cannot find linux/config.h

Cannot find linux/config.h

---

Hello,
  I am fairly new to the forum. I am trying the build the scull module from LinuxDeviceDriver examples and ran into the following issue:

"
adminuser@VirtualBoxImages-desktop:~/Desktop/examples/scull$ make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/build M=/home/adminuser/Desktop/examples/scull LDDINC=/home/adminuser/Desktop/examples/scull/../include modules

"

How can I get the config.h for the 2.6.27.7 kernel? Is there a patch file that I could use?

Thanks,
Fatima

The config.h is now called autoconf.h. You could make a symbolic link to solve this:

Code:

cd /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic/include/linux
ln -s autoconf.h config.h
