Do u notice the macro " #ifdef __KERNEL__ " in these headers? u compile the kernel it will declare this macro. give a web link i think maybe it can give u some help. http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-programming-scripting/54130-inclusion-kernel-header-files.html BRs Lin 2009/8/1 Microbit_Ubuntu <microbit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > On Fri, 2009-07-31 at 08:53 +1000, Microbit_Ubuntu wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> I'm a bit confused as to the status of the type 'u32' in the kernel I >> use (2.6.29.4). >> u32 is used in thread_info.h, but types.h uses __u32. >> >> Now, while googling I came across a recent patch - >> {Mon Feb 09 2009 Chuck Ebbert <cebbert@xxxxxxxxxx> +- Fix type in header >> so iptables will build.
