Just a quick note on a failed compile..
I appoligize for writing this while not sitting in front of the computer
exhibiting
these problems... this is from what I can recall...
The ftape source refrences a structure element 'current->timeout' which
after much digging,
I found that current is a copy of the structure 'task_struct' (sp?) I
think this was in process.h.
task_struct does not have a 'timeout' element.
While digging through the kernel source, I thought I did see one
refrence to
'current->timeout' in the io or fs kernel source.
I've been able to build the 2.2.0final kernel, KDE, kwintv ( sorta ),
net-tools,
ftape-tools, and many other compnents with out any significant trouble.
My goal is to get an HP T1000e to run under Linux.
For now I'm going to try using the ftape packaged with the kernel... If
that does not go,
then I will followup with lots of agonizeing details on this
current->timeout problem.
Thanks for listening,
Perry
