Thanks !
I got a compilation error.
I have another doubt about compilation process.
I have a folder with files which solve my purpose and want the functions in
them to be used in the patch.
Copying the whole folder into ath9k folder doesn't seem right.
How can i include the path of the folder i created in command line or
somewhere else,
so that i can have access to these functions ?
The Makefiles don't have *include* statements, strangely :
Can I pass any flag like : -I /home/me/src/ to the following ?
make /packages/{clean,compile} V=99
Actually, the folder has header files that are used in patch and also in
userspace program to use the functionality added by patch
PS :
I have statements like following in patch:
#include "abc.h"
#ifdef GHI
..
..
