i am trying to upgrade to 2.4.17 linux kernal and i
can not for the life of me figure out why i am unable to compile. i get this as
an error everytime.
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.17/include
-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2
-march=i586 -c -o swap_state.o swap_state.c
In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.4.17/include/linux/coda_fs_i.h:14, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.17/include/linux/fs.h:303, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.17/include/linux/capability.h:17, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.17/include/linux/binfmts.h:5, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.17/include/linux/sched.h:9, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.17/include/linux/mm.h:4, from swap_state.c:10: /usr/src/linux-2.4.17/include/linux/coda.h:760: variable-size type declared outside of any function make[2]: *** [swap_state.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.17/mm' make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.17/mm' make: *** [_dir_mm] Error 2 I would like some info from somebody as to what the
F$%# is happening
the command i use to compile is make
dep && make bzImage && make modules && make
modules_install && make install
Anyhelp would be appreciated (even if it is a you
are screwed) thanks
Chris
