Please Help!! easy-drm fails to build

[Execute_Method]

I'm on ubuntu 8.04 & just got a kernel update and went to run easy-derm-modules and it fails to build. I did download the newest when I ran it, instead of using the one that was already working <--stupid.
It's failing when it gets to the intel stuff.

Here's the output from the 2nd time trying:

$ ./easy-drm-modules-installer

Found DRM source directory drm-20080717
Would you like to download the newest 'git' version, instead
of using these sources [y/N]? y

Hmmm,

I found a folder in my home firectory for the 2 different dates i downloaded.

drm-2008613 <--this is the one that worked
drm-2008717

I just not sure what to do to use the previous, or if it will even work.

[Execute_Method]

OK,
I deleted the newer folder and easy-drm installer found the previous and I was able to use that source again.

Phew!!!!! The build went well and installed properly.

FYI, there may be a problem with the source in git today.

There is some support for building only needed modules in both easy-drm-installer and drm's linux-core Makefile, but it is a) not used and b) broken.

Instructions at http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9951 should describe how easy-drm-installer takes parameters, and the script itself should have BUILD_MODULES envvar renamed to DRM_MODULES.

You can add the name of the module as an argument. There is also an option "-y" to just go for the default answer. I use for instance "./easy-drm-modules-installer -y radeon".

I don't think it's broken or needs renaming of the envvars, you should take a closer look at the code

[tormod]

OK,
I deleted the newer folder and easy-drm installer found the previous and I was able to use that source again.

You can also delete all the drm-* folders and instead download the libdrm source package from the PPA. The script will then use the libdrm-* folder.

While I tried to sidestep the build brokenness with 'radeon' as argument,
for some reason it did not work. I hardcoded the module name as an argument to make and got the impression that BUILD_MODULES's contents did not make it to DRM_MODULES.

Well, I'm sorry. I should have re-downloaded and re-read a copy of the script before complaining here.
