Okay, I got the kernel to compile. Please ignore my previous message about
not having the appropriate declarations. I was in the wrong linux source
tree on the wrong machine. :-)
Anyway, I still had to make the changes that were previously noted:
Quoted 6 lines
- edit
./include/linux/fs.h
- locate line 775
- add the following two lines:extern int
blkdev_close(struct inode *, struct file *); extern intblock_fsync(struct file *, struct dentry *);
Well, that's *nearly* all. You need to remove the "static" keywords from
both blkdev_close and block_fsync in ./fs/block_dev.c, too.
Once I was in the correct source tree, these changes were reasonable, and
they allowed the kernel to compile.
However, I had problems getting the tools to build, and I'll be composing
a separate message with details.
Thanks very much for the help!
Cheers,
Jim
