In /usr/src/linux/fs/Makefile, you need to tell about 'myfs' directory.

For that purpose I took thr src from msdos and tried to do the compiling. The Makefile in the msdos directory does not run. It gives the error that TOPDIR is not set. I set it to /usr/src/linux so as to add the Rules.make but this time it gives the other errors. It compiles with cc and without seting the --KERNEL-- that leads to many errors. Now my question is that how do I compile the code which I have put in /usr/src/linux/fs/myfs > the directory to hold the code for my new filesystems. > > I tried to execute the make file from /usr/src/linux to create the new kernel but here again it does not take into account the newly added dir. I then followed to make dep. In this it goes to myfs dir but no compilation happens. It creates two files myfs.ver and myfs.stamp but both of zero bytes!. This means that gcc did not compile the code in myfs dir? What should I do now? > > miss Diksha > > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
