Re: [User-mode-linux-user] user-mode port 0.27-2.4.0-test4

[Eugene K. <ek...@hi...>]

Hi uml users, 

I get some errors compiling 2.4.0-test4 with patch-2.4.0-test4.bz2. 
It's my first time trying to compile a kernel with the uml patch, so
please forgive me if I missed something obvious. 
Here are the steps I followed :
---------------
tar xfz linux-2.4.0-test4.tar.gz # from ftp.kernel.org
cd linux
cp ../patch-2.4.0-test4.bz2 .    # from uml download page on sourceforge
cat patch-2.4.0-test4.bz2 | bunzip2 - | patch -p1  # patch gives no
errors
make config                      # I just hit return every time to
enable the default configuration
make dep #
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/UserModeLinux-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.2
omits this step, is the ommission intensional? I get the same errors
below, regardless.
make linux                              
---------------
(my gcc --version is 2.95; compiling the kernel without the uml patch
seems to work ok.)


Thanks for any help!
