I've fixed most of these, however the platform driver interface changed once again circa 2.6.39, and AFAICT, picking the right approach to cope with this never ending mess for the mscan driver requires some thoughts from educated people. Since I don't qualify for the job, I'm shamelessly passing the buck to Wolfgang: http://sisyphus.hd.free.fr/~gilles/bx/lite5200/3.0.4-ppc_6xx-gcc-4.2.2/log.html#1 PS: I guess this fix can wait until 2.6.0 final, this is not critical for -rc2. -- Philippe. _______________________________________________ Xenomai-core mailing list Xenomai-core@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-core
