Hello all,
I apologize for not knowing the basics, this problem with Ubuntu
misconfiguration has now required me to dig deeper and I have very
little linux IT/sysadmin type experience.
To recap: I'm unable to use an esd CAN-USB/2 device due to a
misconfiguration in Ubuntu in Kconfig, a "default Y" needs to be
"default y" to operate properly.
Unfortunately, I'm at a loss as to what to do next. I assume I need to
download and recompile all socketcan stuff; is this correct?
I did:
"svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/socketcan/trunk"
then in the kernel/2.6 directory a "make", and the compile fails on
mcp251x.c: 1009:2: error: implicit declaration of function
'create_freezable_workqueue'
(vcan.o,slcan.o,dev.o,can-dev.o,esd_pci331.o all succeeded).
I commented out the offending line of code in mcp251x.c, and the next
problem is in softing_cs.c, and after that ems_usb.c, and finally
esd_usb2.c: error line 466: implicit declaration of function
'usb_buffer_free'.
At this point things are becoming an emergency. I must either get this
working or throw it all into the trash. I'm pretty disappointed that
socketcan and the latest stable ubuntu are apparently incompatible out
of the box.
I will pay anyone $50 via paypal right out of my pocket to provide a
step-by-step walkthru of getting socketcan to operate on ubuntu 11.04
with the ESD CAN-USB/2 device.
Is there *anyone* who has gotten this device to work with Ubuntu? Is
there a different source tree (earlier version?) I should be using? Why
can't this compile out of the box?
If you have an ESD CAN-USB/2 device that is working in Ubuntu 11.04 on
X86, contact me via email or message thru skype (jesse lackey in
oakland) and I will pay you to walk me through getting it running.
