If the Makefile was written well, it will be simple. Open the Makefile with your favorite editor (vim is mine! :) and look for lines similar to -DSOMETHING. Add the -DKERNEL_2_3 bit to this line. Or, if there isn't something that looks right, see if there is a CCFLAGS line -- and add the -DKERNEL_2_3 flag there.

Re: quick fix for building nvidia xfree4 drivers on kernel 2.4.0-test11
can you give specific instruction in building the kernel.
i saw on on tomshardware site that worked for 2.2
is it essentialy the same for 2.4?
when i tried it with 2.4 and nvdriver, i get a screen that just blinks off
and on.
anywaht thanks

quick fix for building nvidia xfree4 drivers on kernel 2.4.0-test11
insert these four lines into a top-level include-file (i.e nvtypes.h or
nv.h):
#define mem_map_inc_count(p)atomic_inc(&(p->count))
#define mem_map_dec_count(p)atomic_dec(&(p->count))
static inline unsigned long get_module_symbol(char *unused1, char
*unused2) {return 0;}
static inline void put_module_symbol(unsigned long unused) {}
..that's it
This will probably not work with multicard systems, and should be
properly fixed by nvidia, since the functions/macros will probably not
be present in future kernels.
