I am currently using RedHat 7.0 with kernel 2.4.10test10. I am having
problems compiling several source codes, FOX for one, and either of the
rtlinux 3.0pre9 (either for 2.2 or 2.4) . I downloaded the source code,
unzipped the file into /opt/rtlinux/rtlinux-3.0. I then downloaded new
source codes for both linux kernels, then the firs time, I unpackaged
the 2.4 kernel into /opt/rtlinux/rtlinux-3.0 so that it created its own
linux dir. I then opened a terminal window (from Gnome), went to the
linux directory, and patched the file with the kernel_patch-2.4.
Everything must have worked fine, I did not receive any error messages.
I the typed in make dep clean bzlilo modules modules_install. (As I had
done to install my 2.4.0test10 kernel, and everything worked fine) As
it was working I received constant warnings that there was junk after
#define I beleive. Then after about 10 minutes it exited prematurely.
I then tried the same thing with the 2.2 kenel, after deleting all old
files, and re-unpacking all the files I needed into clean directories,
but
I received the same problem. I received the same results. I then
remembered that when I tried to install the 2.2.17 kernel I read that
the gcc compiler would not work correctly, and to use g++ instead
(cc=g++) So I repeated both attempts for 2.4 and 2.2 kernels replacing
cc=gcc to cc=g++ in the makefiles of linux and rtlinux, but again
received numerous error messages about undefined objects and then
premature exiting. I have heard about Redhat shipping with a bad
compiler, so I used GnoRPM to upgrade to gcc 2.96-54, as per the RedHat
website ( I upgraded about 2 weeks ago). Please help. I would really
like to use rtlinux in conjunction with EMC to write some GUI CNC
applications.

P.S. I assume that whatever is wrong here is also preventing me from
compiling FOX with mesa support correctly
