Hi list,
Before I get started could someone please pass me the cheese to go with my
wine?
That being said, I've been working on this getting this stupid kernel
recompiled to accomodate a Turtle Beach sound card for two stinkin weeks
and the darn thing continually bombs out on one error or another. If its
not choking on imaginary bad code, then it's telling me that something
else is wrong somewhere. It doesn't seem to matter "how" I configure the
stinkin thing it always bombs out with an error.
The usual thing is a parsing error, or it says there's a '{' missing, or
there's a ')' missing, or even more bizare is the compiler error that I
got tonight. It doesn't matter if I'm trying to do a recompile of
2.2.16-9mdk, or a new config and compile of 2.2.17. The results are the
same. The compile bombs on an error. On the off chance that it does
compile without any errors and all the modules are made and installed then
the damn thing doesn't work right and there are a few things that just
don't work on the system. pppd for one and the other that really knots my
shorts is the friggin sound. The whole reason I'm torturing myself in the
first place.
So, what I really need is some in depth documentation that will cover, in
explanitory fashion, the compiler errors that gcc gives and what to do and
how to do "good" compilations of these darn kernels. As I write this I'm
preparing to torture myself some more by downloading kernel 2.4test9. I
don't know why I'm even thinking I'm going to get it to work. It'll
probably bomb like the rest of these. Frankly I don't know how others are
getting them to compile and work!
thanks for letting me rant. I'm done now.
