I am running whitebox linux which is a redhat enterprise linux clone... the version of whitebox is 3.0 the kernel version is 2.4.21-27.0.2.EL the speakup version is from cvs and I got it today with the checkout script. I am trying to apply the speakup patches to the kernel, but when I compile I get the following error: make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL/drivers/char/speakup' gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -Wno-unused -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -freorder-blocks -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=speakup -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c speakup.c speakup.c: In function `say_from_to': speakup.c:917: warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast speakup.c: In function `chars_write_proc': speakup.c:1599: structure has no member named `list' speakup.c: In function `handle_cursor': speakup.c:1818: structure has no member named `list' make[4]: *** [speakup.o] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL/drivers/char/speakup' make[3]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL/drivers/char/speakup' make[2]: *** [_subdir_speakup] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL/drivers/char' make[1]: *** [_subdir_char] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL/drivers' make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2 I think this is related to the timer declarations in spk_priv.h. Thats as far as I can get... I am not really a hot c programmer. Can anyone help me by giving pointers as to how I can get this error to go away so the compile can finish? Thanks much... --Kelly Prescott
