compilation error message

Hi.

I am in the process of debugging some issues in ACPI on a notebook and I tried to compile nouveau inside the kernel while keeping some ACPI options as modules. Unfortunately, it didn't work and I got an error during compilation (see attachment).

I suspect (but didn't check, as it is very painful to compile kernels on this notebook) that it is because CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO=m.

Is my suspicion incorrect?


Thanks,

Rogério Brito.

kernel config corresponding to the error.

Here is the config that I used.

Please, note that I've seen this error since, at least, kernels 3.3 or so.

Looks to be the case:  there is a missing depend line I think
