The thing is, those patches, and of course the /instructions/ you
found in that forum thread, apply to the openafs module client on
some linux kernel versions distributed by Ubuntu. That said, AFAIR
you need either the /Debian/ openafs module sources, or the Ubuntu
ones. Anyway you will end up building the *client* kernel module. The
rest of the client suite and the openafs kernel module sources are
both distributed via your repository. Following those instructions
will hopefully create a suitable kernel module.
If you don't know how to use the patch command, I'd /warmly suggest/
you to switch to the Ubuntu LTS distribution, I used it and worked
flawlessly: patching the 6.06 may lead to hassles for newcomers.
Anyway, instructions on ``patch'' for beginners are easily available
on the web.
If you want to compile both client and the server, since ``No, I want
to compile afs by my self'' doesn't clarify which part you want, you
need the complete OpenAFS sources, and read the instructions very
carefully.
Good luck!
