Re: [RTnet-developers] RTnet Configuration Issue "Unsupported kernel version"

[James K. <jam...@gm...>]

Hi Jan,

Thank you for your response.

We have a custom build process that was probably confusing the RTnet
configure script, and I also just recently patched my development
machine's kernel with xenomai to test RTnet with the device--the
configuration script also seemed to want to use some of those
directories.  The resolution was to clean everything (make mrproper,
make distclean) from both the custom build and kernel/linux
directories and rebuild the kernel from the standard kernel/linux
directory, reconfigure xenomai in that directory, and then rerun the
RTnet configuration script.  Along the way, I also moved all of the
directories used for patching my development machine's kernel with
xenomai, but that probably wasn't necessary.

I'm running xenomai 2.4.9.1.  I'm guessing it was the same build
process confusion (files that appeared missing because they were in
other locations) that caused the configuration script to think that it
was an old xenomai patch.

I did happen upon that a few weeks ago when I was looking for a good
example of porting a driver.  Perhaps this would be a good thing for
the wiki...


Thanks,
