This is *very* good to know .. I'll build a new dev host tomorrow.

It passed that error .. I came across to more .. its not worth it.  I'll
get the right compiler and move on.  Thanks for the help on this one.

Re: [coLinux-devel] linux kernel; array size missing in `data'

[Ian L. <Ian...@mq...>]

Hello Dan,

  I've built a RedHat9 workstation machine to try a clean compile.  I
was still having problems in various places, so I cut everything 
back to something that should work;

  - plain 2.4.24 linux kernel
  - 20040131 .config (from coLinux download site @ sourceforge)
  - 20040131 linux patch (from same download).


At this stage the kernel build fails in the very last stage of the
build process (see below).

The build process is very simple ... patch it .. make mrproper .. cp in
the .config .. make oldconfig .. make dep .. make bzImage .. nothing
fancy at all (no openMosix, no IPSec, no other drivers, etc).

I'm going to continue to assume that this is still a compiler issue (you're
certain that the 20040131 release compiles against 2.4.24?  This almost
looks like an include/linking/Makefile issue).  The gcc version that RH9
comes out with;

[root@host linux]# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --

system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)


  You're showing "gcc version 3.3.3 20040125 (prerelease) (Debian)"
which I cannot get.  I can either get myself to a release 3.3.2 version,
or prerelease 3.3.3 20040131;   ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/

  I'll try the latest prerelease and see what happens.

There's no need to 'make bzImage'. 

'make vmlinux' does the job without causing the problem you mentioned.

This worked - thank you.  I'll look at adding the BSOD mini patch that you
emailled through this morning, and then get back into adding openMosix
and FreeSWAN ... many hours of fun :)

I don't know what I'm smokin'! .. your bsod patch is, of course, for
windows .. not linux .. I've emailled my mate on that earlier memory
(physmem) enquiry to see if he has any info from the windows side.
