"make modules" doesn't work out of the box. I'm using Mandrake 8.1,
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.1 2.96-0.62mdk) as my development
system.
After "make clean", "make depend", "make bzImage", "make modules", the build
fails at "drivers/char/ftape/compressor/zftape-compress.c". The build output
is:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-22mdk/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototype

It looks like the modversions macros have failed, because rhconfig.h or
linux/version.h isn't included prior to the include of "linux/sched.h"
I'm not at all sure what the right way to fix this is. A simple program
like that has only one line:
#include <linux/sched.h>
will fail to compile with the compile
line:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-22mdk/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/2.96/include -c test.c
One way to fix it would be to include "linux/version.h" immediately before
the declaration of 'event' in "linux/sched.h".
What's the correct way to fix this??
Thanks.
