ath6kl build error.

ath6kl build error.

[nick]

Hi,

I'm getting a build error when building ath6kl modules.

include/linux/mmc/sdio_func.h:162:12: error: expected identifier or '(' before numeric constant

the line it's complaining about is like this:

extern int sdio_set_host_pm_flags(struct sdio_func *func, mmc_pm_flag_t flags);


A bit of googling has shown that others have seen the same problem too.
But, I've not seen a fix for it.

Any ideas appreciated.


Regards

Nick Thomas

The complete gcc error output would be helpful.

What kernel are you using? A quick check of 3.9-rc1 shows that "struct 
sdio_func" is defined in include/linux/mmc/sdio_func.h, which is included from 
both drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/init.c and 
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/sdio.c. The symbol "mmc_pm_flag_t" is defined in 
include/linux/mmc/pm.h, which is included in include/linux/mmc/sdio_func.h. It 
seems unlikely that either "extern" or "int" is undefined, thus the error is 
hard to understand.

I think he's using compat-driver and compiling against some old vendor
kernel.

Hi,

My compilation problem comes down to this:

In drivers/include_local/linux/compat-2.6.34.h .

I see this:

#define sdio_set_host_pm_flags(a, b) 0

That's causing my compiler problem.

I'm going to have to locally patch the tree to fix this.

RE: ath6kl build error.

[nick]

In fact, it is !
In drivers/include_local/linux/compat-2.6.34.h .

I see this:

#define sdio_set_host_pm_flags(a, b) 0

That's causing my compiler problem.
