[coLinux-users] CoLinux 0.7.7.1 + kernel 2.6.26.8 won't build

[Sergei Z. <sf...@ya...>]

Hi,

I have just tried to build kernel 2.6.26.8 with coLinux 0.7.7.1 and it fails:

   CC      drivers/input/mouse/comouse.o
drivers/input/mouse/comouse.c: In function 'comouse_init':
drivers/input/mouse/comouse.c:107: error: implicit declaration of function 'LONG'
drivers/input/mouse/comouse.c:108: warning: left shift count >= width of type
drivers/input/mouse/comouse.c:109: warning: left shift count >= width of type
drivers/input/mouse/comouse.c:109: warning: left shift count >= width of type
drivers/input/mouse/comouse.c:109: warning: left shift count >= width of type
make[3]: *** [drivers/input/mouse/comouse.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/input/mouse] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/input] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

Previuosly I built kernel 2.6.22.18 with colinux 0.7.6 without any problems.

I did some investigation and found the following.
In kernel 2.6.22.18 the macro LONG is defined in include/linux/input.h, line 925.
But in kernel 2.6.26.8 that header file is significantly different. The LONG macro is not defined any more.
As far as I can tell, it is not defined anywhere in the Linux source (or coLinux for that matter).

I'm wondering, how could anyone possibly have succeeded building the 2.6.26.8/0.7.7.1 combination?
Are there any patches missing from the coLinux release tarball?

Thanks and regards,
Sergei.
