mtd jffs2 on 2.4.18-rmk3: undefined references

[Murtada Shah]

Hi,


I'm trying to install the mtd from the cvs rep. for 2.4.18 kernel with rmk3 patch.


I copied (normally it ln -sf, but I cp -f'd) the files over, but I'm getting
undefined references to zlib_deflateInit_, zlib_inflateInit_ and some other
zlib_<> calls.. which seem to reside in the lib/zlib_deflate &
lib/zlib_inflate directories of mtd. How do I copy these to the linux kernel
so I can cross-compile 2.4.18-rmk3 with latest mtd without undefined reference
errors?

The 2.4.19-pre1 version ought to work. Obviously the bits which patch the 
stable JFFS2 code to work with shared zlib won't work - ignore those and 
drop in the new code.
