Re: [opencbm-user] Errors compiling opencbm on Linux.

[<gr...@gm...>]

Hello Spiro,

I managed to build opencbm0.4.0, with the following changes:

Then i executed:

luca@c65:~/opencbm/cbm4win$ sudo /sbin/depmod
luca@c65:~/opencbm/cbm4win$ sudo /sbin/modprobe parport
luca@c65:~/opencbm/cbm4win$ sudo /sbin/insmod cbm lp-0
insmod: can't read 'cbm': No such file or directory


The error is due to the fact that the cbm.ko file resides only in the 
./sys/linux directory, dunno why.
  Anyway, i issued this command;

luca@c65:~/opencbm/cbm4win$ sudo insmod sys/linux/cbm.ko lp-0
insmod: error inserting 'sys/linux/cbm.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module

and I got that error. Instead if i run it with no parameters, like:

luca@c65:~/opencbm/cbm4win$ sudo insmod sys/linux/cbm.ko

i get no error messages (but no successful messages either :))

The syslog whilst the last command reports these lines:

Oct 31 22:42:38 c65 kernel: cbm_init: using passive (XM1541) cable 
(auto), irq 7
Oct 31 22:42:38 c65 kernel: cbm: resetting devices

Oct 31 22:44:21 c65 kernel: Quiting because of timeoutcbm: resetting devices
Oct 31 22:44:21 c65 kernel: cbm: waiting for free bus...

I tryed to issue some commands then, but without success, like

luca@c65:~/opencbm/cbm4win$ sudo cbmctrl status 8
99, driver error,00,00
cbmctrl: status: No such device

Any help? :)

Greetings,
Luca
