Re: Synced with 2.4.4

[Johann D. <jo...@Do...>]

Hi !

I tried to compile the code with a new 2.4.4 kernel, and it did not
work. I am alone in this situation ?
When I tried with the previous versions of the Linux console sources and a
kernel 2.4.3 I got the same errors.
Unfortunately, I don't have the errors at hand, but perhaps I did
something wrong.

Here is how I tried to compile the code:
# Get the Linux console sources
cvs login ...
cvs co .../ruby
# Save it
tar cvzf ruby.tgz ruby/
# Extract linux sources
cd ruby
tar xvyf linux-2.4.4.tar.bz2
# Overwrite linux sources with Linux console sources
cd ..
tar xvzf ruby.tgz ruby/linux
# Compile the stuff
cd ruby/linux
cp /usr/src/linux/.config .
make xconfig
-> Errors in config.in. I fixed them as well as I could
make bzImage
-> Errors in one of the vt* files. The problem was a mutex.

Is there anything I did wrong ? If not, I will try again the compilation
to have the exact errors.
I used to have the same problems with the version for the linux kernl 
v. 2.4.3
