The problems I was getting were with redefinitions, and I tried pathing in /usr/src/linux/include as some stuff was called with linux/xxx.h which were located in /usr/src/linux/include/linux, but that didn't help and gave other redefinition errors. I'm using a 2.2.18 kernel, and even though I would like to upgrade to the 2.4.x kernel, I want to continue to try and get e2compr going (the kernel patch worked for 2.2.18 with one minor mod which I have sent a message to the maintainers), but the patch to the e2fsprogs didn't compile after it was patched. Anyway, I use this to compile a compressed image that I can flash over the net, and would like to be able to do that if possible. > The change from using dev->name = s; to strncpy (dev->name, s, strlen > (whatever)) > is a 2.4 ism, the other thing was just something stopping it from building, > anyway good luck. Thanks for the info Steve, I'll dig around the linuxppc-dev list and see if I can find your patch. -- Alan DuBoff Software Orchestration, Inc.
