make error

Hi,

I'm trying to install a radio clock software, which issues make errors. Can anyone guess what may be wrong. Tryed to modify the pcfclock.c with no positive result. Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks Tom

make
cd . \
&& CONFIG_FILES= CONFIG_HEADERS=config.h \
/bin/sh ./config.status
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged

The thing is with source is that quite often it will only compile with a spesific kernel-verion-header files/and or spesific libs.

I suggest you check the doc's which i am presuming came with the source and see if there is any mention of what the authour used to compile it.

It could also be that he/she used a different compiler than you have.

This could be a simple syntax error in the source, or it could be the result of a header file mismatch.

Looking at that i would take a wild guess and say that the software is very old indeed and needs lib5 support, thesedays we have Glib's and they are mostly not backwards compatable.

Of course it could be something else intyrly...

Did this thing come with a ./configure script? If so, did you run it before trying make?

This looks as if it is trying to make a kernel module. Did you include module support in 2.4.4 when you configured it?

#
# Loadable module support
#
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
CONFIG_KMOD=y

Did you remember to make modules after you built your kernel, and have root run "make modules_install"?

This looks as if pcfclock.c is trying to use a macro which is not defined in any header file. What follows is fallout.

Thanks for your replies.

I contacted the author of the prog and he
will commit a new / updated version that
should work :-)
