Trying to cross-compile two Nvidia drivers against Linux kernel 4.4.70:
- Nvidia 384.59 - everything builds fine
- Nvidia 340.107 (needed for GeForce 9500 GT card)- build fails (using the same build command)
The constraints are that i can’t switch to a different kernel version and do need to support GeForce 9500 card.
The forum search reveals references to patches for other kernel versions (4.11 etc), but couldn’t find anything for 4.4.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone can point out whether Nvidia 340.107 and kernel 4.4 are a viable combination - with or without the patches.
