Hi All,

Can anyone answer why this is failing to compile.  Trying to compile the
2.6.12 kernel with an updated version of supermount.  I suspect its
erroring due to a gcc2.95 problem.

drivers/ide/ide-cd.c: In function `idecd_mediactl':
drivers/ide/ide-cd.c:3428: parse error before `struct'
drivers/ide/ide-cd.c:3429: `disk' undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/ide/ide-cd.c:3429: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
drivers/ide/ide-cd.c:3429: for each function it appears in.)
drivers/ide/ide-cd.c:3430: parse error before `*'
drivers/ide/ide-cd.c:3431: `drive' undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/ide/ide-cd.c:3432: parse error before `struct'
drivers/ide/ide-cd.c:3433: `info' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[2]: *** [drivers/ide/ide-cd.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [drivers/ide] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2


the relevant source section is


#if defined(CONFIG_SUPERMOUNT) || defined(CONFIG_SUPERMOUNT_MODULE)
static int idecd_mediactl(struct block_device *bdev, int op, int arg)
{
         if (!bdev) return -EINVAL;
         struct gendisk *disk = bdev->bd_disk;
         if (!disk) return -EINVAL;
         ide_drive_t *drive = disk->private_data;
         if (!drive) return -EINVAL;
         struct cdrom_info *info = drive->driver_data;
         if (info) return cdrom_mediactl(&info->devinfo, bdev, op, arg);
         return -EINVAL;
}
#endif


Any ideas?

Thanks

Miles
