The story here is that I'm am using instructions my predecessor left for
building a packet shapeing firewall and trying to update them for a new

use older versions and manually insert stuff but it makes more sense to
try the latest stuff first)
I need to build tc because it needs to be patched with
esfq-2.6.20/esfq-iproute2.patch.
So I built the Linux 2.6.20.3 with the necessary patches and left it in
/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3 with a /usr/src/linux symlink pointing to it. I
didn't do anything after setting it up.
The git version unfortunatly won't compile either. I get this:
../include/linux/types.h:166: error: syntax error before ‘__kernel_daddr_t’
../include/linux/types.h:166: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or
union
../include/linux/types.h:167: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in
declaration of ‘f_tinode’
../include/linux/types.h:167: warning: data definition has no type or

make[1]: *** [ll_map.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/iproute2/lib'
make: *** [all] Error 2
I'm going to see if I can get iproute 2.6.19 working with this. It
seemed to compile once but without the proper patches. If not, I'll have
to move back to the 2.6.15 versions that are already prove.
Unless you have some other suggestion for hte above error.
I just tried with esfq patches and it still works for me. I notice
Correy has started using netfilter - I bet that will take some
maintaining, but it doesn't look like it's anything to do with your error.
What is your arch 64bit? I only have 32bit to test with.
My desktop is fairly old tools (LFS 5.1 IIRC - it was still 2.4 I think
before I migrated it) - if you are really really old maybe that could
hurt you.
Maybe you could try a quick test - no need to build the kernel, but you
must configure. For me make menuconfig picks up my last config because I
put it in /boot YMMV of course you may need to find/import your config
then just exit and save. My configs have pretty much everything tc/qos
related selected as modules.
Don't bother with esfq just see if you can build against a vanilla kernel.
just to complicate things git doesn't work for me today -
Initialized empty Git repository in
/home/andy/Kern-test/git-test/iproute2.git/.git/
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fetch-pack from
'git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/' failed.
But I kept a clean copy of it from the other day, so just used that,
I've put a copy up so we know we are using the same thing.
Anyway - just as a user try somewhere -
mkdir tc-test
cd tc-test
wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.20.3.tar.bz2
wget www.andyqos.ukfsn.org/iproute2-git.tar.bz2
tar xjf linux-2.6.20.3.tar.bz2
tar xjf iproute2-git.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.20.3
make [whateveryouuse]config
load/hope it found your recent config exit/save
cd ../iproute2-git
export KERNEL_INCLUDE=/full/path/to/tc-test/linux-2.6.20.3/include/
make
If it still fails maybe we should cc Stephen again :-)
Andy.
