Hi there,
first I'd like to ask you to cc me when replying to my message, since I'm
not subscribed to this list. I just need your help on the following two
questions, and since I'm already subscribed to more than half a dozen
mailing lists I'd like to avoid the additional traffic. Thanks for your
understanding. I promise that I will post a summary if I get useful replies.
Ok, here's my problems:
I've downloaded ftape-4.02, but for some suspicious reason I can't compile
it under 2.2.9. I suspect it is due to a change in some internal data
structure?!
This is the error I get:
make[2]: Entering directory /usr/src/ftape-4.02/ftape/lowlevel'
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce

fdc-io.c:454: structure has no member named timeout'
make[2]: *** [fdc-io.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory /usr/src/ftape-4.02/ftape/lowlevel'
Is there anyone who has been able to compile 4.02 under kernel 2.2.9? Any
ideas what I could do to get things running?
My other problem is that I can't format tapes. I've tried the most recent
Debian ftape-util package (1.07-1.1,) and I've fetched the source and
compiled it myself under the kernel I'm using. However in both cases I only
get "unknown format API version. Giving up."
Again, I'm clueless. Before I compiled the tools myself I thought Debian's
version was incompatible with my kernel, but now that I recompiled them
myself this can't be the reason anymore, can it? Note that I'm currently
running ftape-3.07 since I can't get 4.02 compiled as I described above.
Thanks for your help,
Ralf
