[luau] kernel build question

Sorry, this is probably a dumb question. I've downloaded the kernel source for the 2.4.17 kernel. I've built the kernel, installed it, and successfully booted to it. So, what I'm suddenly wondering is, what to do with the /usr/include folder. Aren't those include files specific to the previous

[luau] compiler optimization?

A friend of mine reccommended that I play around with compiler optimizations a bit to see what happens. I was a little surprised. I have an application that's about 10k lines of C code written for linux. It's multi-threaded. It doesn't do any complicated math. It compiles to about 1.8MB. Comp

[luau] applying patches to RH kernels, RH and 2.6 kernel

Specifically, I'm trying to patch the 2.4.20-20.8 kernel with rml's preemptible kernel patch, but it's failing. I've tried going through and fixing the errored lines by hand, but no luck. And now I'm trying to find or figure out a methodical way of creating of doing this. Any ideas? I haven't b

[luau] include files

How do, or should, the include files in /usr/include relate to the include files in /usr/src/linux/include? If you upgrade your kernel, should the /usr/src/linux/include/linux/ files replace your /usr/include/linux files? It seems like they would, and yet, my system seems to run fine without doin

[LUAU] pthreads priority question

I was writing a multi-threaded program, and was using pthread_setschedparam() to boost the priority to something pseudo-realtime, when I got stumped on a question: I want my program to run at a higher level priority than standard, in fact I want it to run at as high a priority level as possible.
