Hello, I'm making progress on my 2.4.20 patch problems. Below is output from make dep make -C speakup fastdep awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file `include/linux/version.h' for reading (No such file or directory) make[6]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/drivers/char/speakup' make[6]: *** No rule to make target `fastdep'. Stop. make[6]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/drivers/char/speakup' make[5]: *** [_sfdep_speakup] Error 2 make[5]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/drivers/char' make[4]: *** [fastdep] Error 2 make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/drivers/char' make[3]: *** [_sfdep_char] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/drivers' make[2]: *** [fastdep] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/drivers' make[1]: *** [_sfdep_drivers] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20' make: *** [dep-files] Error 2 Not sure where this is all headed, but I'll keep plugging away. Seems like the Makefile needs some work. Chris
