Howdy,

I'm trying to build the lvm under RedHat 6.1 (linux 2.2.14 + devfs), and
while the kernel patch applies and builds just fine (even with devfs), I've
run into some problems with the lvm tools.

I'm using the 0.8-pre02.10.1999 release of the tools.

After typing 'make', the build dies with errors along these lines:

cc -c -pipe -Wall -I/usr/src/LVM/0.8-pre02.10.1999/tools
-I/usr/src/LVM/0.8-pre0

[...ad nauseum...]

These errors occur for virtually every file in the distribution. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

well, the devfs includes seem to depend on __KERNEL__ things, it solved it on my box with the following hack (houuu, real ugly ;-)):

First, remove the -D__KERNEL__ from the Makefiles (of the lvm-tools of cause!), then add this to $(KERN_SOURCES)/include/linux/lvm.h around the include of linux/kdev_t.h (about line 90 or so):

/* KS : Look out! Following is a bad, bad hack solving compile problems for tools! */
#if !defined (__KERNEL__)
#define __KERNEL__ 1
#include <linux/kdev_t.h>
#undef __KERNEL__
#else
#include <linux/kdev_t.h>
#endif
#include <linux/major.h>
#include <asm/spinlock.h>

Works for, hope the same for you.

Bye
Klaus
