Compile Errors

[Trevor Astrope]

I found a copy of speakup-1.5 I had on another machine. I'm trying to 
recompile the red hat enterprise 3 kernel on a machine I use at work, but 
I get the error below. Can anyone help?

Tia,

Trevor

Hi Trevor
That version of speakup si too old for that kernel version. You will 
have to find a patch of a recent version of speakup to use.

Either that, or get a newer 2.4.x kernel. I can tell you with
certainty that speakup 1.5 works with linux 2.4.26, and probably newer
2.4.x kernels as well.

Thanks Luke.

I got the Dec 28 version of speakup from cvs (thanks Kirk!), but I'm still
getting the same error with the rhel 2.4.21 kernel. All works fine with a
stock 2.4.21 kernel, of course, but not with the rhel kernel.

I'm not tied to the rhel kernel for any third party driver support and I 
don't need a rhel certified kernel. But I do need the rhel distribution 
for work to test and build new packages for rhel systems.

I would like to build a kernel rpm to use to make my own modified speakup 
rhel distro. Worst case I could do a kickstart install and install my own 
kernel, but I'd really like to be able to patch the rhel kernel, if for 
nothing else than the shear satisfaction after investing this much time 
into it already. <grin>

Anyway, the 2 lines in speakup.c that are giving the errr are the 
start_timer function. They are defined in spk_priv.h as:

#define start_timer( name ) if ( ! name.entry.prev ) add_timer ( & name )

I don't know why gcc is complaining that the structure has no name `list'.

If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Trevor

Thanks Greg. I could always use a newer stock kernel, but I'd really like 
to prepare a speakup modified rhel distro I could use for interactive 
installs. But I don't know enough to debug the error myself.

I'm hoping that some kind soul out there knows enough to know what is
causing the error and how to fix it if it is an easy fix. If it's not an
easy fix, I'll just do the kickstart thing and use a stock kernel.


Thanks!

Trevor
