Hi there,
I have Mandrake 7.1 and I was trying to recompile the kernel so that I could
use my 3com ethernet card. Whilst I was in the config panel (using make
xconfig) I also set on the USB drivers because I have a USB scanner, printer
and desktop camera.
However, when trying to compile with the USB support set to Y, I got
these errors and compiling stopped:
// snip

So I tried turning the USB support to M(odule) and although the
compiliation got further I still got a compiling error which stopped the
compiling. These errors are as shown:

Now I cannot recompile my kernel. Can anyone tell me what is happening
and what I can do to fix it? I want to keep USB support because of my
devices, but if I really can't have it then I'll live without, ya know?
Anyway, any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Andy
