Riddles in the dark

[Tommy McCabe]

ps.c can't compile because of these errors:

/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:25.29: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:36.16: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:37.16: error: seg_t
already declared
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:37.16: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:50.24: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:51.22: error: need ';'

/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:52.23: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:53.21: error: __pptr

/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:54.21: error: __pptr

/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:54.21: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:92.25: error: need ';'
/usr/lib/bcc/include/linuxmt/sc:131.21: error: need
';'

Note that the file linuxmt/sc doesn't exist- I assume
it to be linxumt/sched.h. The compiler thinks seg_t is
a variable name but it's a variable type. Is ps.c
itself, I see this: int read_task(fd, off, ds,
task_table). What the heck is this? A function
declaration? An array? It looked as if it should have
a semicolon put after it, but then ps.c returned these
errors:

ps.c:30.1: error: need variable name
ps.c:31.9: error: need ';'
ps.c:34.7: error: addr already declared
ps.c:34.40: error: initializer too complicated
ps.c:35.3: error: need variable name
ps.c:35.5: error: need ';'
ps.c:35.6: error: need ')'
ps.c:35.6: error: need variable name
ps.c:35.7: error: need ';'
ps.c:35.14: error: need ')'
ps.c:35.14: error: need ';'
ps.c:35.14: error: need variable name
ps.c:35.20: error: need ';'
ps.c:35.30: error: need ')'
ps.c:35.30: error: lseek already declared
ps.c:35.30: error: need '{'
ps.c:35.32: error: need ';'
ps.c:35.32: error: bad expression
ps.c:35.33: error: need ';'
ps.c:35.33: error: bad expression
ps.c:35.34: error: need ';'
ps.c:35.34: error: bad expression
ps.c:35.36: error: need ';'

And back at linuxmt/sched.h, it ends with a #endif
which isn't preceded by a #indef! What gives?

Hi, Tommy,

Did you copied the current kernel include files on the bcc include path?

You are supposed to do that, before building elkscmd, elksnet and others.

BTW, we need to include this on the documentation, somewhere. I don't know
if the web page warns the user about that.

linuxmt/sched.h here looks like:

===
#ifndef LX86_LINUXMT_SCHED_H
#define LX86_LINUXMT_SCHED_H

<lots of content>

#endif
===

The '%' key on VIM here says that the #if* are correctly closed.
