cvs kernel does not compile

cvs kernel does not compile

[Konstantinos Margaritis]

   The 2.3.0 kernel found on cvs.on.openprojects.net does not compile on
my powerpc system (debian glibc 2.1, egcs 1.1.2pre), with the following
error: 

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -D__powerpc__ -fsigned-char -msoft-float -pipe -fno-builtin -ffixed-r2 -Wno-uninitialized -mmultiple -mstring   -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c ksyms.c

It's the first time it does this. Any ideas?

Welcome to the dev cycle.  The tree can be broken once again, and only has
to compile on x86.  I'm sure Cort or someone will see what's going to be
needed to fix up 2.3.1-pre2 soon enough.

2.3.0 (cvs) compiled fine for me this morning, I'm running it now
(LinuxPPC R5 beta):

root[8]#dmesg | grep Linux
Linux version 2.3.0 (root@chezmoi) (gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314
(egcs-1.1.2 release)) #14 Wed May 12 09:30:40 CEST 1999

Well.  2.3.0 is 2.2.8.  2.3.1-pre2 (in CVS now) is not. :)

Indeed. 2.3.1-pre2 (in CVS now) is deeply broken. This gives us
non-developers time to compile other things than kernels :-)

This may be a stupid question, but what is the best site to download
the latest version of the kernel with the current PPC/PMac fixes?

I haven't had very good luck with the kernel src on linuxhq.com.

If you are on cvs from openprojects, you can get a 2.3.0 kernel via
 cvs -z3 update -D "5/12/99 10:00:00"
This is more or less the latest one that actually compiles.

But since the linuxppc developers release 1.0 is out now, the 2.2.6-15a
kernel sources that come with it will probably remain a stable reference
for some time to come.

Use CVS, but update your tree as:
cvs update -dP -rlinux_2_2

(http://cvs.on.openprojects.net)
