following previous advice, i BK-checked out the kernel source tree from http://ppc.bkbits.net:8080/linuxppc-2.5 in order to configure and build a basic kernel for my MPC850 board. the results thus far -- after the initial configure: =========================================================== ... ppc_8xx-gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/ppc/kernel/.ppc_ksyms.o.d -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -Iarch/ppc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -Iarch/ppc -msoft-float -pipe -ffixed-r2 -Wno-uninitialized -mmultiple -mstring -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DKBUILD_BASENAME=ppc_ksyms -DKBUILD_MODNAME=ppc_ksyms -c -o arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.o arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c:344: `request_8xxirq' undeclared here (not in a function) arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c:344: initializer element is not constant arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c:344: (near initialization for `__ksymtab_request_8xxirq.value') make[2]: *** [arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [arch/ppc/kernel] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rpjday/rdm/projects/2.5/TONTO/OS/linuxppc-2.5' make: *** [build] Error 2 ... ===========================================================
been here before, the offending code in arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c is: #if defined(CONFIG_8xx) EXPORT_SYMBOL(request_8xxirq); #endif since request_8xxirq appears to be undefined, i can just comment out those three lines and move on, but it would be nice to know if i've misconfigured something. rday ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
