RE: v.11 redhat compiling errors

A couple of data points on my compiling problem:

- It's not the version ... because version 0.12 out of cvs does the same

- It's not the compiler ... I downgraded from gcc 3.22 to 2.96 and it's the
same.  I'm really surprised, I thought this would be it.  The main reason I
thought so is that, according to the man pages, the behavior of -I is
different between the two.  One man page says -I appends the search list
after standard includes, the other says before.  Either way, it wasn't the
problem - I tried modifying the makefile to not include /include, then
appended it on the end of the list manually and it still behaves the same.

What's weird is that it builds on my redhat 7.3 machine, but not the 9.0.
Of course that doesn't really help me because they don't have the same
kernels.

So, still unable to compile at76c503 ... (frown)

Subject: v.11 redhat compiling errors


When I try to compile v.11 I get tons and tons of errors.  I read the readme
file and it's not the symlink to the build directory - that part is correct.
The running kernel is 2.4.20 but the version that's in /usr/src/linux-2.4 is
not the running one (the one in /usr/src is built with extra options -- I'm
trying to target this to an embedded Geode board).

So, if KERNEL_SRC and KERNEL_HEADERS are consistent (pointing to
/usr/src/linux-2.4-20.8) then why wouldn't it build?
