#2 compiling prob

[Anonymous]

hi there,

there seems to be a problem, wehn compiling on plain suse 7.1 system. after setting port and display geometry the make process produces a lot of warning messages.
several variables are redefined via included "strings.h": __NFDBITS, __FDMASK and memset for instance.
so i commented out the include of strings.h. after that the compile runs without error and produces only warnings regarding incompatible pointer types in function init_module.
insmod is unable to load the module due to unresolved symbols:
- __release_region
- __check_region
- __request_region
- ioport_resource

with kind regards
uwe

Which version of the driver did you try?
The latest CVS?
With what kernel version?

i have the same problem with suse 7.1 using kernel 2.2.18.
I could not get insmod to load the lcd.o. It keep saying
lcd.o was compiled for kernel 2.4.0 and this is kernel
2.2.18. It makes no difference if I change -DKERNEL to 20
21, 22 , 24 or 1024!. Happens with both LCD-0.1.52 or lcd-
0.2

I have now switched to 2.4 kernel and have ftp'd every
version from your ftp site. None of them compile until the
include<string.h> has been removed.

Now insmod is unable to load the module due to the
following:
- __release_region
- __check_region
- __request_region
- ioport_resource

which linux distribution and kernel did you get this running
on?

Please help ...
