Trouble compiling modules

Post by Mark Sas » Sat, 11 Oct 1997 04:00:00



Hi All,
        I am having problems configuring the a new kernel.  I have installed
kernel 1.2.1 (Yes, I know this is old, but I am waiting on a new version.
My kernel currently has no network support which is the problem:)  I am
trying to add a kernel with network support, and I do the following:

make mrproper
make config
make dep
make clean
make zlilo
make modules

        When I get here, there is a problem when it tries this final item.  It
gets an error when trying to compile the soundblaster cdrom module.  The
problem is that I do not want support for SB CDrom, but it still compiles
it????  Can anyone help me?  I would rather be able to have network support
and pull the newest kernel from the internet via my T1, but if I have to
wait for the new distribution set, I can deal with it - it should be in any
time.  Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

1. troubles compiling module?

I am trying to install a PCI ethernet card , since there is a serious
bug
in the built-in-ethernet adapter on my PMac 7200.  Anyway I have ne2000
(realtek 8029) that the LinucPPC kernel reports as irq=23 and
ioport=0x400?
The DOS diagnostics software states the irq=9 and iport=0x6000 are
stored on the card (obviously plugged into an Intel machine) .  I tested

out the PCI card with Intel Linux and it works fine.   Why does linuxPPC

report  irq=23 and ioport=0x400?  Also I noticed there were no modules
for ne2k-pci with LinuxPPC?  Can I get them off the the CD ?  Red Hat
for
Intel sets up all the compiled modules so one can easily add new
hardware.  Why does LinuxPPC installation not do this?

Well I found the net2k-pci.c in the kernel source rpm(no precompiled
modules).  I really don't want
to go through the mess of recompiling the entire kernel when I just want
to
get a net2k-pci module.

I tried to compile it with 'gcc -O2 ne2k-pci.c -D__KERNEL__ -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes  -I /usr/src/linux/include' and got:

In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/signal.h:64,
                 from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:23,
                 from ne2k-pci.c:34:
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/string.h:31: warning: conflicting types for
built-in function `memset'
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/string.h:32: warning: conflicting types for

built-in function `memcmp'
/usr/lib/crt1.o(.rodata+0x4): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Well I am stuck? Any ideas?
