I am trying to build fglrx 8.34 (latest version from ati.amd.com) and ipw3945 1.2.0, however, neither one builds correctly.
Firstly, fglrx. I downloaded the source package, ran the executable and installed fglrx-kernel-source. I than ran module-assistant prepare,update then m-a build,install. This last step fails, the build log is full of errors 700 lines long. I'd like to know how the Ubuntu team managed to build this i.e. what packages am I missing (do I need a later version of libc6-dev?).
Secondly, ipw3945 doesn't build. I run the following commands: make IEEE80211_INC=../ieee80211 IEEE80211_PATH=../ieee80211 IEEE80211_IGNORE_DUPLICATE=y which point to a valid ieee80211 subsystem from sf.net, the same error occurs using the ubuntu linux-source or kernel.org source. Below is the somewhat shorter error message:

I have tried community forums and can find no answers there. The versions from the ubuntu edgy repositories work just fine, but then these are pre-compiled.
All help appreciated,
