- Well, my hopes of flawless compilation of the ps package under 2.2.2d
- have been dashed. I followed the instructions in the FAQ, README, and
- release docs, namely (1) removing all old gcc stuff (and all /usr/include
- directories except /usr/include/X11/*). I even removed the linux
- sources, reinstalled them from scratch, applied patch 1 and the buffer fix,
- to make sure all headers were unadultered. (2) ran the install script.
-
- The kernel compiled flawlessly. But, ps dies with a whole slew of errors
- such as
-
- /usr/include/linux/termios.h:69: parse error before `tcflag_t'
- /usr/include/linux/termios.h:69: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
- /usr/include/linux/termios.h:70: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
-
- [approx 10E666 lines removed]
-
- /usr/include/linux/fs.h:172: field `msdos_sb' has incomplete type
- /usr/include/linux/fs.h:177: parse error before `off_t'
- In file included from cmdline.c:12:
- /usr/include/linux/sched.h:236: parse error before `grp'
- cmdline.c: In function `swapread':
- cmdline.c:187: parse error before `off_t'
- make: *** [cmdline.o] Error 1
-
- This seems to indicate to me that the header files are screwed up in
- some way. As all headers had been deleated before {unning the install
- script, I can only assume that this means the headers with the new
- release (2.2.2d) still have some problems. I am extremely reluctant to
- tear into these things, hacking quick fixes which break something else.
-
- Has anyone got ps-0.97 compiling under linux 0.97.1 and gcc 2.2.2d? Has
- anyone got the headers figured out? If so, could you please post a step
- by step procedure for installing gcc/linux sources/whatever else? After
- reading the aforementioned doc files several times I am unable to make any
- progress. I would like to figure out this header stuff once and for all,
- then simply put it out of my mind and go on to other things.
-
- Thanks for any and all help!
-
- Jean.
