Kernel module compilation problem under 2.2
Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question -- I'm pretty sure
I'm dealing with a very simple problem, but I can't figure out how to
fix.
I've written a kernel module which builds cleanly on a stock RH 7.0
system, but when I try to build it on my 2.2 Debian box, I get a
*host* of errors, all to do with header parsing (I'll keep the output
brief here). The Debian box has libc6-dev installed,
kernel-headers-2.2.12-4, and kernel-source 2.2.12.
On the RH box, I'm building against kernel 2.2.16 with gcc 2.96, and
on the Debian box, 2.2.12 and gcc 2.95.2.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I'm going buggy over this.
Sample output follows. What am I doing wrong?
