Hello,
I had a few problems with 2.2.0-pre4 on my alpha station:
-- "make xconfig" does not work; here is the error message:
wish -f scripts/kconfig.tk Error in startup script: can't read "CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL": no such variable while executing "if {($CONFIG_NET == 1) && ($CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL == 1)} then { .f0.x7 configure -state normal } else { .f0.x7 configure -state disabled }" (procedure "update_mainmenu" line 4) invoked from within "update_mainmenu .rdupd" (procedure "read_config" line 26) invoked from within "read_config .config" (file "scripts/kconfig.tk" line 9237) make: *** [xconfig] Error 1
-- there is no include/asm-alpha/ipc.h. Actually, it seems that none is needed, which would explain this. However, this upsets ipc/utils.c. See patch below.
-- fs/ntfs/ntfstypes.h and include/linux/ntfs_fs_i.h both contain some definitions for the ntfs integral types; the second one is not complete (it lacks ntfs_s16 and ntfs_s32). See the patch below for a crude hack.
With the following patch, it compiles; haven't tried to boot it yet:
--- include/linux/ntfs_fs_i.h.old Sun Jan 3 14:05:22 1999 +++ include/linux/ntfs_fs_i.h Sun Jan 3 14:06:14 1999 @@ -12,6 +12,8 @@ typedef unsigned short ntfs_u16; typedef unsigned int ntfs_u32; typedef unsigned long long ntfs_u64; +typedef short ntfs_s16; +typedef int ntfs_s32; #endif #ifndef NTMODE_T --- ipc/util.c.old Sun Jan 3 14:08:00 1999 +++ ipc/util.c Sun Jan 3 14:00:43 1999 @@ -13,7 +13,9 @@ #include <linux/shm.h> #include <linux/init.h> #include <linux/msg.h> +#ifndef __alpha #include <asm/ipc.h> +#endif #include <asm/uaccess.h> #if defined(CONFIG_SYSVIPC)
May somebody tell me what CONFIG_MATHEMU really does ?
