[Airo-linux-general] compiling problems with CVS

[Cory S. <co...@st...>]

  I'm having some trouble compiling my kernel after patching it with CVS 
code.  I've tried this with a 2.4.7 and 2.4.17 kernel.  If my kernel 
source is in /usr/src/linux and my CVS patches are in 
/usr/src/airo-linux, I cd to /usr/src/ and type
"patch -p0 < airo-linux/kernel/patches/2.4.3.patch" and get the 
following errors:


patching file linux/drivers/net/Config.in
Hunk #1 FAILED at 254.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file 
linux/drivers/net/Config.in.rej
patching file linux/drivers/net/Makefile
Hunk #1 succeeded at 94 (offset 5 lines).
patching file linux/drivers/net/pcmcia/Config.in
Hunk #1 succeeded at 31 (offset 1 line).
Hunk #2 FAILED at 40.
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file 
linux/drivers/net/pcmcia/Config.in.rej
patching file linux/drivers/net/pcmcia/Makefile
patching file linux/Documentation/Configure.help
Hunk #1 succeeded at 8650 with fuzz 1 (offset 1340 lines).

After looking at linux/drivers/net/Config.in.rej it appears that ~ ling 
290 something is where it wants to put the code.  I don't think it's 
necessary anyway, because Config.in sources 
drivers/net/wireless/Config.in which has a spot for CONFIG_AIRO.

I have no idea what linux/drivers/net/pcmcia/Config.in.rej wants to do. 
 I can't match the rej stuff to anything in that Config file.  I decided 
to not worry about it, because I'm not running on a laptop, and 
therefore not using pcmcia.

Next, I move linux/drivers/net/wireless/airo.c and airo_cs.c to 
airo-old.c and airo_cs-old.c respectively.  I copy 
airo-linux/kernel/airo.c airo.h and airo_cs.c to 
linux/drivers/net/wireless.  I run "make menuconfig", configure the 
kernel, and then successfully run "make dep".  When I run "make bzImage" 
I get the following errors:


gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes 
-Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
