Looking for mkfs.jffs2 source that compiles against 2.4.18 (redhat+patches)

Looking for mkfs.jffs2 source that compiles against 2.4.18 (redhat+patches)

[David Wuertele]

I have a highly-patched 2.4.18 kernel from my CPU vendor that includes
JFFS2 support, but I've been unable to get the latest CVS mkfs.jffs2
to compile against it.  The reason seems to be my kernel's jffs2.h not
having defined the jint16_t and jint32_t.  I have tried to follow the
instructions in the latest mtd CVS for patching the kernel, but my
kernel has a lot of special code in the mtd/nand directory that gets
clobbered by mtd's patchin.sh.  I have tried working around this but
it is just too tangled of a mess.

My kernel's jffs2.h says:

 * $Id: jffs2.h,v 1.22 2002/01/09 13:27:58 dwmw2 Exp $

This looks almost identical to the version of jffs2.h in my stock
RH7.3 development system's kernel source.

Can anyone tell me how to check out a version of mtd/util from CVS
that will compile against my kernel's existing JFFS2 support?

Thanks,
Dave

It shouldn't. If you run 'make mkfs.jffs2' in the util/ directory from
CVS, you should see it add '-I../include' on the command line, and hence
use its _own_ headers, not the ones from your kernel.
