Re: kernel compiling problems
Alright, I include the header in asm/hw_irq.h, asm/string.h and
include/linux/string.h, the undefined variable error are gone ;-), but new
ones has come ;-(
This is the error message: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type, the
errors occur at places (line numbers) that aren't the same as the old
errors. Again, I've attachted the output.
