Compilation instructions for m3mirror

[Toby Johnson]

Does anybody know how to compile benh's m3mirror utility?

The binary from penguinppc.org/~benh seems to have stopped working
some time after the 2.4.20 kernel and before the 2.4.24 kernel.  I'm
guessing that I need to recompile against the new kernel headers.
Might this be right?  Unfortunately I have no idea what compiler
options might be needed, and trying to compile with no options fails:

# gcc m3mirror.c 
m3mirror.c: In function `main':
m3mirror.c:32: error: parse error before '[' token
m3mirror.c:59: error: parse error before '[' token

Grateful for any ideas,

Toby.

Thanks very much.  In case anyone else has this problem, it seems I
had to do both of these to get m3mirror to work (which it does now).
At least, the stampflee patch on its own didn't solve the problem.

snooze works fine on my 400MHz Pismo running a recent 2.4.24-ben1
kernel with CONFIG_PMAC_PBOOK=y.  I'm running Woody testing, so maybe
you could try downgrading pmud (I'm running version 0.10-4) and see if
that solves the problem.
