Missing modversions.h

I`m trying to compile a program, which was actually designed for Linux OS based on kernel 2.4.
When I run the make command, I get the following error

/lib/modules/3.8.0-29-generic/build/include/linux/modversions.h: No such file or directory

So I tried to locate the file modversions.h manually by running the command

sudo find / modversions.h

but I could not find any.

I tried the following

cd /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-29/include/linux
make update-modverfile

but got the following error

make: *** No rule to make target `update-modverfile'.  Stop.

I also googled about this missing file and it looks to me like this is a common issue with many applications designed for older kernels, so what possibly I could do to fix this issue.

Please to provide your suggestions.

Solution 1:

According to Ubuntu's package search, the file you are looking for is part of the package linux-headers-3.8.0-29-generic. Its full path, according to that package's file list, is

/usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-29-generic/include/config/modversions.h
