Unable to produce packages for Ubuntu 15.10 Kernel 4.2

[sabun123]

Hi!

First off, thank you for this patch.

I may not be doing this correctly, so please guide me if I'm doing something wrong here.

First I extract the Catalyst driver like so:

./AMD-Catalyst-15.9-Linux-installer-15.201.1151-x86.x86_64.run --extract

Then I extract the contents of fglrx-core-15.201-master.zip (this patch) into the directory fglrx-install.4AYQWP/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod and I overwrite any files that need to be overwritten.

Now I go back to the main folder, and run:

sudo ./ati-installer.sh 15.201 --buildpkg Ubuntu/wily

This is the following output I get. It says it has built correctly, but it's clear there's no deb packages anywhere to be found.

apt 1.0.10.2ubuntu1 for amd64 compiled on Oct  5 2015 15:55:05
Usage: apt-get [options] command
       apt-get [options] install|remove pkg1 [pkg2 ...]
       apt-get [options] source pkg1 [pkg2 ...]

apt-get is a simple command line interface for downloading and
installing packages. The most frequently used commands are update
and install.

Commands:
   update - Retrieve new lists of packages
   upgrade - Perform an upgrade
   install - Install new packages (pkg is libc6 not libc6.deb)
   remove - Remove packages
   autoremove - Remove automatically all unused packages
   purge - Remove packages and config files
   source - Download source archives
   build-dep - Configure build-dependencies for source packages
   dist-upgrade - Distribution upgrade, see apt-get(8)
   dselect-upgrade - Follow dselect selections
   clean - Erase downloaded archive files
   autoclean - Erase old downloaded archive files
   check - Verify that there are no broken dependencies
   changelog - Download and display the changelog for the given package
   download - Download the binary package into the current directory

Options:
  -h  This help text.
  -q  Loggable output - no progress indicator
  -qq No output except for errors
  -d  Download only - do NOT install or unpack archives
  -s  No-act. Perform ordering simulation
  -y  Assume Yes to all queries and do not prompt
  -f  Attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place
  -m  Attempt to continue if archives are unlocatable
  -u  Show a list of upgraded packages as well
  -b  Build the source package after fetching it
  -V  Show verbose version numbers
  -c=? Read this configuration file
  -o=? Set an arbitrary configuration option, eg -o dir::cache=/tmp
See the apt-get(8), sources.list(5) and apt.conf(5) manual
pages for more information and options.

Trying to run the generic installer is a no-go:

sudo ./ati-installer.sh 15.201 --install

It will return an error saying it needs linux-headers-4.2.0-16-generic but I already have this installed.

As can be seen, it complains a lot about not finding certain files and directories, and I'm uncertain how to go about this. I've tried Googling some of these but I cannot find anything.

Running this doesn't work as it can't find any of the .deb packages:

sudo dpkg -i fglrx*

I've scoured all the folders just to be safe it's not moving them somewhere obscure, and sure enough they aren't there.

Same for me.

I think it should be "sudo ./ati-installer.sh -- --buildpkg Ubuntu/wily" . The extra "--" matters.

Same error:

Do not create package. It makes installing (as you see here:-)) and unistalling more complicated. Install after patching with:

sudo cp /usr/include/linux/version.h /lib/modules/uname -r/build/include/linux/
(check that version in version.h matches with your kernel)
sudo ./ati-installer.sh 15.201 --install

to uninstall, use sudo aticonfig --uninstall

Gcc 4.9 must be used, gcc 5.2 causes problems. See: ls -l /usr/bin/gcc

This is not a problem with the driver only with the system
