leezer3 Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Hi guys, I'm currently trying to compile IPW2100 & SLMDM in Ubuntu. After a real pain in the a$$ lot of twiddling, I believe I've got my kernel sources set up properly. However, when I try to compile them I get all sorts of errors like this: root@ubuntu:~/slmdm-2.7.10 # make gcc -Wall -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -I. -I/ usr/src/linux/include -DMODVERSIONS --include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modv ersions.h -o amrmo_init.o -c amrmo_init.c <command line>:138477907:408: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h: No suc h file or directory In file included from /usr/include/asm/system.h:5, from /usr/include/asm/processor.h:18, from /usr/include/asm/thread_info.h:13, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/thread_info.h:21, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:12, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/capability.h:45, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:7, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:10, from amrmo_init.c:47: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/kernel.h:72: error: syntax error before "void" In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/capability.h:45, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:7, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:10, from amrmo_init.c:47: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:43: error: syntax error before "_spin_tr ylock" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:44: error: syntax error before "_write_t rylock" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:46: error: conflicting types for `fastca ll' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:44: error: previous declaration of `fast call' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:46: error: syntax error before "_spin_lo ck" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:47: error: syntax error before "_read_lo ck" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:48: error: syntax error before "_write_l ock" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:50: error: syntax error before "_spin_un lock" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:51: error: syntax error before "_read_un lock" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:52: error: syntax error before "_write_u nlock" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:54: error: conflicting types for `fastca ll' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:52: error: previous declaration of `fast call' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:54: error: syntax error before "_spin_lo ck_irqsave" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:55: error: syntax error before "_read_lo ck_irqsave" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:56: error: syntax error before "_write_l ock_irqsave" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:58: error: conflicting types for `fastca ll' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:56: error: previous declaration of `fast call' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:58: error: syntax error before "_spin_lo ck_irq" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:59: error: syntax error before "_spin_lo ck_bh" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:60: error: syntax error before "_read_lo ck_irq" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:61: error: syntax error before "_read_lo ck_bh" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:62: error: syntax error before "_write_l ock_irq" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:63: error: syntax error before "_write_l ock_bh" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:65: error: syntax error before "_spin_un lock_irqrestore" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:66: error: syntax error before "_spin_un lock_irq" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:67: error: syntax error before "_spin_un lock_bh" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:68: error: syntax error before "_read_un lock_irqrestore" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:69: error: syntax error before "_read_un lock_irq" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:70: error: syntax error before "_read_un lock_bh" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:71: error: syntax error before "_write_u nlock_irqrestore" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:72: error: syntax error before "_write_u nlock_irq" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:73: error: syntax error before "_write_u nlock_bh" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:75: error: conflicting types for `fastca ll' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:73: error: previous declaration of `fast call' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:75: error: syntax error before "_spin_tr ylock_bh" In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/time.h:7, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/timex.h:58, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:11, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:10, from amrmo_init.c:47: ((That's just a few from the compile of SLMDM, there's pages & pages of them :()) Any help appreciated. -Leezer- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devries Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 I doubt you have your kernel sources setup correctly. :) <command line>:138477907:408: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h: No suc h file or directory Means that the modversions.h file isn't found.

arctic Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 i agree with devries. there are too many "file/folder not found" error messages. so you need to set up your kernel sources again, i am afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Since what i've done obviously hasn't worked) Thanks for your help. -Leezer- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 as i don't really know which steps you have already taken, i suggest you take a look at this howto for the ipw2200: ipw2200 for the kernel, do the following: download either the kernel package kernel.org or from the ubuntu mirrors or those, patched by the ubuntu developers. for the latter one, type in a terminal: sudo apt-get install linux-tree but i guess this has been already done by you. now you need to compile the kernel. therefore, grab the following stuff sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get install kernel-package sudo apt-get install gcc sudo apt-get install libncurses5 sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev and sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev this will install all necessary packages for the compile process. now untar the whole package: cd /usr/src sudo tar --bzip2 -xvf linux-2.6.11.tar.bz2 (in case you are using 2.6.11 kernel. if you have another, alter the kernel number) now you need to create a symlink. sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.11 /usr/src/linux cd /usr/src/linux then customize your kernel config. type sudo make xconfig or type alternatively: sudo make menuconfig now, you can start the compile process with the following command sudo make-kpkg clean sudo make-kpkg --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image modules_image now there will be a .deb package in /usr/src. this file is ready for installation, just like any other .deb package. sudo dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.11-custom_10.00.Custom_i386.deb i hope i made no mistake now and i hope this can help you at getting your stuff running step by step. :) good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leezer3 Posted July 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 (edited) Edit: Sorry, I spoke too soon Unknown target: make-kpg Something else is broken (Yes, I have installed the kernel packager) Before I install it, precisely what does it do? (In other words, does it update the kernel version running on the system or what, & if so should it create a new kernel entry in grub as the previous ones did?) As with the howto, I'd already found that, and was attempting to follow, but it was giving error 2 on attempting to compile. Therefore, I have been trying to fix the kernel source ever since Thanks for everything! -Leezer- Edited July 9, 2005 by leezer3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 it should be make-kpkg, not make-kpg. it'i part of the (debian-specific) kernel-package package and should be the same in ubuntu afaik. Once you've done a make (x|menu)config, you can use make-kpkg to compile the kernel and modules and make the appropriate packages from the result.

Anyway still the same error. If anyone has binaries for SLMDM & ipw2100, please post, otherwise soon I may be giving up on these, as they are non-essentials at this moment in time. (Still need them to get on the net though) -Leezer- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leezer3 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Hi once again, First, sorry for the slight bump, but the situation evolves :P Anyway, I've fixed kpkg & have compiled & installed 2.6.10 from kernel.org. However, it ceases to surprise me that the SLMDM errors remain the same. Anyone have any ideas on where to proceed from here? Things are looking up on the IPW2100 front though, and these are the only errors I get now: CC drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/ieee80211_crypt.o drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/ieee80211_crypt.c: In function `ieee80211_crypt_deinit_entries": drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/ieee80211_crypt.c:57: warning: dereferencing `void *" pointer drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/ieee80211_crypt.c:57: error: request for member `deinit" in something not a structure or union drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/ieee80211_crypt.c:58: warning: dereferencing `void *" pointer drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/ieee80211_crypt.c:58: error: request for member `owner" in something nota structure or union drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/ieee80211_crypt.c: In function `ieee80211_register_crypto_ops": drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/ieee80211_crypt.c:126: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/ieee80211_crypt.c: In function `ieee80211_crypto_deinit": drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/ieee80211_crypt.c:237: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/ieee80211_crypt.c: At top level: drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/ieee80211_crypt.c:192: error: storage size of `ieee80211_crypt_null" isn"t known make[4]: *** [drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100/ieee80211_crypt.o] Error 1 make[3]: *** [drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100] Error 2 make[2]: *** [drivers/net/wireless] Error 2 make[1]: *** [drivers/net] Error 2 make: *** [drivers] Error 2 I'm presuming that this is an error in the driver code itself, rather than in my kernel setup, so progress of a sort! (At the moment, I've tried disabling all encryption in the makefile, but no go) Thanks for your help -Leezer- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 sorry, no idea what might cause these errors... :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leezer3 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 sorry, no idea what might cause these errors... :unsure: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OK, thanks :D Secondly, I have 99% solved SLMDM- Wrong driver version ; It's no use trying to compile a driver written for a 2.4 kernel on a 2.6 kernel, hence errors. With regards to the IPW, i'm trying the IRC in a moment, and we shall see what we shall see. Thanks -Leezer- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leezer3 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Finally- SOLVED!! Logistics on the IPW2100 channel pointed me to a file that removed a load of rubbish left behind by the ancient version Ubuntu had installed. With this removed, it compiled perfectly. -Leezer- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
