[2.6.11] Compile Errors

[Dracontopes]

I am trying to build a custom kernel with gcc 4.0.

I used the standard kernel config file which comes with the ubuntu linux-image.

The first problem I encountered was some problem with include/linux/fb.h
Apparently, gcc 4.0 does not like that file. I fixed that problem by applying a patch here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110849581519729&w=2

But now, I got another error:

Translation: Fout = Error :)

Well, first of all, you're using GCC 4.0.... That's about as stable as a psychotic maniac in a clown parade on halloween without medication.

I suggest using GCC 3.x, 3.4 at *most*.

What's happening is the compiler is dying due to it's internals doing something stupid.

edit:
Wait, FIRST, go to http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html and fill out a bug report for this. It only takes a minute; really :P

Help them fix it ;)

Thanks for replying,

When I run the make-kpkg etc command again, I do not get this error again. Maybe my RAM is just bad... or something else is f***** Then it continues with building more modules etc, and another erros pops up but this time it's not a segmentation error but something more serious I think:

het type van formele parameter 2 is onvolledig = the type of formal parameter 2 is uncomplete (bad translation I know)

On google I found a message about a patch being written etc, but then the patch is nowhere to be found... :| It's been send to -mm etc what the **** that is :)

Anyway, maybe the 2.6.12 unstable kernels do it better :P I will keep my existing_working kernels intact just in case :P

"struct i2c_msg" isn't defined...

that's an odd one, because those errors in i2c.h? well, at line ~401:


struct i2c_msg {
__u16 addr; /* slave address */
__u16 flags;
#define I2C_M_TEN 0x10 /* we have a ten bit chip address */
#define I2C_M_RD 0x01
#define I2C_M_NOSTART 0x4000
#define I2C_M_REV_DIR_ADDR 0x2000
#define I2C_M_IGNORE_NAK 0x1000
#define I2C_M_NO_RD_ACK 0x0800
__u16 len; /* msg length */
__u8 *buf; /* pointer to msg data */
};


Hi, defined!

Okay, well, basically, I suggest you do a "make distclean" and start the compile over from scratch.

Looks like you started compiling, then changed something ;)

[Dracontopes]

Hehe ah well, I ditched gcc 4.0 because it gave me more and more errors with the kernel compile :)

So, I removed gcc package and gcc-4.0 package with synaptic. THen I made symlinks /usr/bin/gcc to /usr/bin/gcc-3.4 and the kernel compiled OKAY!

Everything compiled okay, but at the end, something odd is happening:

It does not create the .deb file I want...
