Kernel source package for 3.8.13-118.6.2.el6uek.x86_64

ilanschMar 23 2017 — edited Mar 23 2017

Hi, 

I want to compile my kernel module code on my "Oracle Linux Server 6.8" machine.

Current kernel version I have: 3.8.13-118.6.2.el6uek.x86_64

I need to #include some source files from the kernel sources package.

I did not find a kernel source package on yum, But, found it online at https://oss.oracle.com/ol6/SRPMS-updates/kernel-uek-3.8.13-118.6.2.el6uek.src.rpm

I downloaded and did "rpm -iv kernel-uek-3.8.13-118.6.2.el6uek.src.rpm "

But i dont see it installed the source, usually after installing the source, they are located at: /lib/modules/3.8.13-118.6.2.el6uek.x86_64/

and that folder contains a symbolic link named "source".. this link directs now to the build, and that refer me to the compiled ko modules and not src.

if i take the rpm and extract it, i can see the source located in kernel-uek-3.8.13-118.6.2.el6uek.src / linux-3.8.13.tar.bz2

i can uncompress it and make the symbolic link manually, but i think it should be automatically with a package using the rpm -i or yum install..
