Hello.
My first attempt to install ftape has not gone well, so I'm hoping that
someone out there can lend a hand.
I have downloaded ftape 4.02.
I am running linux 2.2.5-15 on an i686 with the RH6.0 distribution ftape
modules excluded. I have also disabled parallel port printing.
I have a Ditto Max attached to my parallel port. I tried to alter the
MCONFIG hardware configuration settings so that only the backpack
options are used, like so:
[snip]
#STD_DEV=0
#FDC_OPT += -DCONFIG_FT_STD_FDC_$(STD_DEV) \
-DCONFIG_FT_INT_$(STD_DEV)=1
[snip]
BPCK_DEV=0
FDC_OPT += -DCONFIG_FT_FDC_PARPORT_$(BPCK_DEV)=-1 \
-DCONFIG_FT_PAR_$(BPCK_DEV)=1 \
-DCONFIG_FT_BPCK_$(BPCK_DEV)=1
[snip]
At the end of the 'make' I get the following complaint:
[snip]
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-strength-reduce
-DTHE_FTAPE_MAINTAINER=\"[EMAIL PROTECTED]\"
-DBROKEN_FLOPPY_DRIVER -DCONFIG_FT_PROC_FS -DCONFIG_FT_FDC_PARPORT_0=-1

-DCONFIG_FT_INTERNAL_MODULE -DCONFIG_FT_TRAKKER_MODULE

[root@eng9 ftape-4.02]#
It must be something in my ~/ftape-4.02/MCONFIG or
/usr/src/linux/.config files. I won't attach those here but am happy to
share.
