| |
I had some problems while compiling some applications with the 2.4.0 kernel. The problem was a conflict between string.h from the libc and the one from the kernel, which is included in fs.h So, using <string.h> and <linux/fs.h> at the same time brings some conflicts. It seems to me that <linux/string.h> should not be apparent from user mode, so I did this patch:
--- fs.h-orig Fri Feb 2 23:55:35 2001 +++ fs.h Fri Feb 2 21:26:05 2001 @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ #include <linux/stat.h> #include <linux/cache.h> #include <linux/stddef.h> -#include <linux/string.h> +/* #include <linux/string.h> */ #include <asm/atomic.h> #include <asm/bitops.h> @@ -190,6 +190,7 @@ #include <asm/semaphore.h> #include <asm/byteorder.h> +#include <linux/string.h> extern void update_atime (struct inode *); #define UPDATE_ATIME(inode) update_atime (inode)
Like this, the #include <linux/string.h> is "protected" by a #ifdef __KERNEL__, so I don't have any conflict any more.
I recompiled my kernel without any problem since I did that patch.
Regards.
