X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en] (WinNT; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: IA64 version of 2.4.0-test1 has compile errors/config errors Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The IA64 build of 2.4.0-test1 reports type mismatch errors for strlen() and memset() with the latest build of linux-2.4.0-test1 at www.kernel.org when you build the kernel under the NUE environment with the GCC IA64 compiler/linker. The compile error indicates a conflict with built in functions with the same name. The .config file is also has sone issues. When you follow the instructions that come with SKI and NUE for IA64, they instruct you to copy the kernel.config file that comes with the IA64 SKI simulator file system over the default .config in the /linux main build directory. After running "make config" or "make oldconfig", several config options get deleted from .config such as CONFIG_SIMETH=y, CONFIG_SIM_SERIAL=y, and CONFIG_SIM_SCSI=y and have to be "hacked in" manually or the target vmlinux file does not get built properly and will not load correctly with SKI. Also, IA32 emulation support is listed in .config as "experimental", but seems to work ok when enabled. The lack of loadable module support also seems troublesome. I am assuming modutils have not been modified to support IA64? :-) Jeff --------------238C1E9C638E85965A40B4E8--
