[hsflinux] Custum kernel; RH9; compile failure

[Jean-Simon Durand]

Hi,

it's not the first time that I see this problem with kernel 2.4.21-rc2, but
I haven't been able to reproduce it myself. Here's what you can do to help
trace the source of the problem.

- go in /usr/lib/hsf/modules
- run "make -n" and redirect the output in a file
- edit the file and keep only the line that starts with "gcc" and ends with
"serial_hsf.c"
- remove the "-o serial_hsf.o" option and replace it with "-E"
- run "sh file" (file is the name of the file you just edited) and redirect
the output in another file
- send us this second file which contains the preprocessed source code
parsed by gcc

Thank you,

Jean-Simon

Subject: [hsflinux] Custum kernel; RH9; compile failure

Hello all,

I've run into a problem with my modem. It has worked well on RH7.3 and RH8.0
and it works well with the latest kernel for RH9 using the generic packages
with source. Sadly, when I run hsfconfig with my own kernel, the compile
itself crashes. No errors about the kernel-source not being properly
installed.

-The buildlog:

http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio/tmp/hsfconfig-buildlog.txt

-The last part of the buildlog:

* compiling (gcc) mod_engine.c
> linking kernel module hsfengine.o

* compiling (gcc) serial_hsf.c
In file included from serial_hsf.c:897:
serial_core.c: In function `uart_close':
serial_core.c:1073: invalid operands to binary ==
make: *** [serial_hsf.o] Error 1

-Output from hsfconfig --dumpdialog:

http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio/tmp/hsfdiag.txt

The config file used in my kernel:

Any suggestions?

I've seen in the archives that there are some problems with acpi and the
driver, but that shouldn't stop it from compiling(?) Any help would be much
appreciated.
