Compiling as a module, the following throws a tantrum in my face: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/fs/ntfs' gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -malign-functions=4 -DMODULE -DNTFS_IN_LINUX_KERNEL -DNTFS_VERSION=\"000607\" -c -o inode.o inode.c inode.c:1054: conflicting types for `new_inode' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/fs.h:1153: previous declaration of `new_inode' make[2]: *** [inode.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/fs/ntfs' and proceeds to die.. btw, this is for "make modules".. the kernel built just fine (tho i haven't booted it yet) i still suck at C, so this is only a guess (i'll find out if i'm right or wrong i suppose ;) ), is that you can't static int without a function prototype for it ... or a static inline can't be a static int... well whatever the case, i look forward to seeing the fix [and now it's time for sleep now that i am about to faceplant] ;) -- .oO gnea at rochester dot rr dot com Oo. .oO url: http://garson.org/~gnea Oo.
