Sort of, I am trying to make a usr mode library work with kernel. However, floating point operation is necessary in the algorithm. You mean that this can never be done? Is changing floating-point the only thing I can do now?
Before helping out more with your compile issue please explain in propser detail what you try to achive. Reading the above I get the impression you thing a library will run faster when running in kernel context - and thats what you try to do.
If this is your plan then the answer is: Drop it.
NO, this is not my plan :)
I was trying to build a compression/decompression utility with my algorithm in kernel, and want to use it in some of the device drivers.
And in that algorithm, we need floating-point.
Thanks! Lei
