linux-2.6.0-test1 compile error

[Vijay Subramanian <vijaynarananan@yahoo.com>]

hi friends,

I am trying to compile linux-2.6.0-test1 and I did the following.

 

make mrproper

make menuconfig

make bzImage

all fine till here..

but "make modules" fails with the following error

 

make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=drivers/char/mwave

make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=drivers/char/pcmcia

(many such lines)

last few lines

----------------------------------------------------

gcc -Wp,-MD,drivers/char/.riscom8.o.d -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -Iinclude/asm-i386/mach-default -fomit-frame-pointer -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DMODULE -DKBUILD_BASENAME=riscom8 -DKBUILD_MODNAME=riscom8 -c -o drivers/char/.tmp_riscom8.o drivers/char/riscom8.c

make[2]: *** [drivers/char/riscom8.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [drivers/char] Error 2

----------------------------------------------------

 

Obviously , there is an error in riscom8.c

gcc version is not 2.95.3 (2.96 if I remember) Do I _have_ to use 2.95.3.?

 

Is there something I have missed with the new kernel?

If anyone can point me in the right direction, it will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.
