Package: linux-headers-3.16-0.bpo.2-common
Version: 3.16.3-2~bpo70+1
Severity: normal

Hello,

While attempting to install NVidia drivers v340.46 (x64) on the currentli running 3.16 Debian kernel, the auto installer fails during the build of the DKMS module.

It seems the Makefiles chain inside the linux-headers leads to the error.

Here are the relevant parts of the make.log file from the NVidia module (sorry for French locale, but file references and line numbers are common language! ;o) ):

test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || (                \
        echo >&2;                                                       \
        echo >&2 "  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.";           \
        echo >&2 "         include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
        echo >&2 "         Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.";      \
        echo >&2 ;                                                      \
        /bin/false)

-> Is it expected? normal?


make -f /usr/src/linux-headers-3.16-0.bpo.2-common/scripts/Makefile.build obj=./..
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.16-0.bpo.2-common/scripts/Makefile.build:44: /usr/src/linux-headers-3.16-0.bpo.2-common/./../Makefile: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
make[4]: *** Pas de règle pour fabriquer la cible « /usr/src/linux-headers-3.16-0.bpo.2-common/./../Makefile ». Arrêt.

-> It looks like something went wrong with the path here


- The installer has been collected from http://fr.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/340.46/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.46.run
- It has been run with 'sudo', no option
- The DKMS module has been requested to be built
- The 32 bits compatibility libraries have not been requested to be built

Having read https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/769055/dkms-fails-to-compile-nvidia-modules-340-32-343-13-during-kernel-3-16-1-compile-process-on-debia/, I attempted to add the following to /etc/dkms/framework.conf:
unset MAKEFLAGS
unset ARCH
unset KBUILD_EXTMOD
unset obj

It did not succeed.

Log files are attached

This is not our problem to fix; ask Nvidia for support.
