kernel compile gone wrong.

[Tim Burgess]

Hi,

I tried compiling the 2.4.9 kernel without the patch, so you might have
answered my question as well.  However, I'm confused about the "CVS"
reference for SpeakUp.  I've been out of the SpeakUp loop for a while (I'm
running 0.09 under kernel 2.2.16 at the moment).  The only SpeakUp code I
can find on the web/FTP site is a tar.gz.  The installation documentation
that I have seems to indicate that all I need to do is unpack the file into
/usr/src, change to the SpeakUp directory and execute ./install.  It did
occur to me that I might (or might not) need to do the patch as per the 0.09
version.

Dazed and confused - can you advise?

P.S.  Just to show that I'm still a complete newbie, how do I delete a
directory containing files and sub-dirs in one go?

Cheers.

Tim

Your errors are with incompatible versions of speakup and a kernel I do
believe.  Looks like you tried building current cvs against 2.4.4.  I
don't see any reason why you would want to build 2.4.4 at this point.  I
suggest that you build 2.4.9ac10.  This can be accomplished by getting the
2.4.9 source tarball and the ac10 patch which can be found at
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/linux-2.4/2.4.9/patch-2.4.
9-ac10.gz
To patch the ac patch make sure the the 2.4.9 source is in /usr/src/linux
then make a link to this called linux.ac This can be done by 'ln -s linux
linux.ac' from with in the /usr/src dir.  Then from /usr/src do 'patch -p0
<patch-2.4.9-ac10'  Of course this assumes that you already gunziped
it.  Then use the checkout script to apply cvs of speakup.
