K=2.4.3 - LVM0.9.1.B7 compiling problem.

Hi,

In order to make things right I downloaded the 2.4.3 kernel and
compiled it (i386).

With the new kernel running (lvm-mod load ok) I'm trying to compile lvm
tools, but there are lots of warinigs, all the same thing, the first of them is:
-----------------------------------------------------------
gcc -c -pipe -g -O2 -Wall -DDEBUG -I ../../tools/lib -I ../../tools - debug.o debug.c
In file included from ../../tools/lib/liblvm.h:97
from basename.c:34
../../tools/lib/lvm_log.h:47:59: warning: nothing can be pasted after this token

Does anyone had a problem like this before???

Hmm...I don't get that at all! Which version of GCC are you using? Did you download the 0.9.1_beta7 tarball or grab something from the cvs?

Regards,

THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES #16:
C- This language was named for the grade received by its creator when he
submitted it as a class project in a graduate programming class.  C- is
best described as a "low-level" programming language.  In fact, the
language generally requires more C- statements than machine-code statements
to execute a given task.  In this respect, it is very similar to COBOL.

I'm using gcc 2.96 from RedHat 7.0 and I downloaded the tarball. I also applied the patch from the tarball to the kernel.

I'm using gcc 2.96 from RedHat 7.0 and I downloaded the tarball. I also applied the patch from the tarball to the kernel.

This patch works for me using gcc 3.0:

 #define lvm_fatal(x...) do {\
   plog(LOG_FATAL, __FILE__, __LINE__, "(FATAL) " ## x); \

If this is the right fix (time for me to download gcc 3.0) why haven't you changed lvm_fatal and plog ? Does this still do the right thing under older versions of gcc ?

I get similar warnings with gcc 3.0 from CVS. The indicated line has changed but the actual error is the same I think:
