[RTnet-developers] Compile failure with linux 3.14.18 and xenomai-2.6 git snapshot

[Vasudev K. <kam...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to compile rtnet with linux kernel vanilla from kernel.org
version 3.14.18 patched with ipipe-core-3.14.17-x86-2.patch and
xenomai 2.6 git snapshot. Compile fails with following error.

While searching I found following mailing list thread which contains
partial patch [1], But looks like its not been applied. Is there any
ETA on supporting Linux kernel above 3.2 series?
