Compiling kernel 2.4.20 with the latest snapshot of mtd

Compiling kernel 2.4.20 with the latest snapshot of mtd

[Matthias Gorjup]

Hello,

I have troubles crosscompiling compiling kernel 2.4.20 with the latest
snapshot of mtd,
taken
from the mtd CVS repository. I apply the patch by invoking script
sh patchin.sh /home/gorjup/temp/linux but I get errors when compiling.
Here are the errors:

compr_zlib.c:64: parse error before `jffs2_zlib_init'
compr_zlib.c:65: warning: return-type defaults to `int'
compr_zlib.c: In function `jffs2_zlib_init':
compr_zlib.c:66: warning: implicit declaration of function `vmalloc'
compr_zlib.c:66: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a
cast
compr_zlib.c:72: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a
cast
compr_zlib.c:75: warning: implicit declaration of function `vfree'
make[3]: *** [compr_zlib.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/home/gorjup/temp/linux-2.4.20/fs/jffs2'
make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/gorjup/temp/linux-2.4.20/fs/jffs2'
make[1]: *** [_subdir_jffs2] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/gorjup/tempB/linux-2.4.20/fs'
make: *** [_dir_fs] Error 2


Any suggestion welcome...

I tried it, but I got errors as well. But does it make sense at all to
take the latest snapshot from CVS and integrate it in our product with
kernel 2.4.20 since there is no guarantee that the latest snapshot from
CVS is stable? 
Our problem is the speed of writing to flash memory (Fujitsu MBMLV650,
16bit, 8MB). It takes us minimum 5 minutes for copying a 2MB large file
from mounted NFS to flash partition. Is that normal? how could we optimize
it?
