• ErrorCompilingKernel20031125

Update

Using the old gcc, compiling the kernel worked, but then the image was much too big. Therefore, I rearranged the .config file using make menuconfig, and I set many drivers to "module". Now, new errors appear, which I document on ErrorCompilingKernel20031130 ... ---

{{{New Knowledge: On my debian system, there is also the gcc-2.95 compiler! Now, I just changed the link from gcc to this older version. However, the finally mentioned error does not vanish. On the other hand, there shouldn't be any need of recompiling the kernel to match the gcc version with the kernel compiler's version...}}}

Documentation of Errors that Prevent Kernel Compilation

(2003 - 11 - 28)

I just downloaded the kernel source of version 2.4.22. My gcc's verion is 3.3.2 (Debian, x86). The config file for the compilation is quoted below. After {{{make oldconfig make dep make clean }}} I started 'make vmlinux' and got a first error in usb.h: {{{make all_targets make[3]: Entering directory `/data/src/linux-2.4.22/drivers/usb' gcc -DKERNEL -I/data/src/linux-2.4.22/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=usb -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c usb.c gcc -DKERNEL -I/data/src/linux-2.4.22/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=usb_debug -c -o usb-debug.o usb-debug.c gcc -DKERNEL -I/data/src/linux-2.4.22/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=hub -c -o hub.o hub.c gcc -DKERNEL -I/data/src/linux-2.4.22/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=devio -c -o devio.o devio.c gcc -DKERNEL -I/data/src/linux-2.4.22/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-comon -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=inode -c -o inode.o inode.c inode.c:681: error: redefinition of `usbdevfs_add_bus' /data/src/linux-2.4.22/include/linux/usb.h:1119: error: `usbdevfs_add_bus' previously defined here inode.c:693: error: redefinition of `usbdevfs_remove_bus' /data/src/linux-2.4.22/include/linux/usb.h:1120: error: `usbdevfs_remove_bus' previously defined here inode.c:703: error: redefinition of `usbdevfs_add_device' /data/src/linux-2.4.22/include/linux/usb.h:1121: error: `usbdevfs_add_device' previously defined here inode.c:715: error: redefinition of `usbdevfs_remove_device' /data/src/linux-2.4.22/include/linux/usb.h:1122: error: `usbdevfs_remove_device' previously defined here inode.c:750: error: redefinition of `usbdevfs_init' /data/src/linux-2.4.22/include/linux/usb.h:1124: error: `usbdevfs_init' previously defined here inode.c:775: error: redefinition of `usbdevfs_cleanup' /data/src/linux-2.4.22/include/linux/usb.h:1125: error: `usbdevfs_cleanup' previously defined here make[3]: *** [inode.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/data/src/linux-2.4.22/drivers/usb' make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/data/src/linux-2.4.22/drivers/usb' make[1]: *** [_subdir_usb] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/src/linux-2.4.22/drivers' make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2 }}} As this seemed due to a non-working #ifdef/#else fork in the header file, now I commented out the affected lines 1119 to 1125: {{{#ifdef CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS

Is my gcc malicious? How to donwgrade? (apt-get install gcc=<older version> fails)

Thanks!

Postscript: Now, I set ext3 to "module", and another error cancels the compilation:

Now, I learned that there should be a line {#define CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT "iso8859-1"} in file {include/linux/autoconf.h}! Having added this definition, the error above was gone.
