a problem with "make"

[mvt007geek]

hi friends
i have a problem with make command in fedora17.(3.6.7-4.fc17.x86_64)
i wanted to mount a systemfile called yaffs.
when i entered it's directory and did "make" it gave me some errors:

[root@ossl new_yaffs]#make
make -C /lib/modules/3.6.7-4.fc17.x86_64/build M=/home/ossl2/Documents/yaffs/new_yaffs modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/3.6.7-4.fc17.x86_64'

make[2]: *** [/home/ossl2/Documents/yaffs/new_yaffs/yaffs_mtdif.o] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/3.6.7-4.fc17.x86_64'

i hade mounted yaffs in debian and it had no problem and worked well
it seems it have some problem with gcc i think.what should i do?

You probably don't have the package building tools installed, hence the gcc error. Try

PHP Code:

yum groupinstall "Development Tools" 


Then try your make comand again.

This LOOKS like ther is some mismatch between the application you are trying to compile and the include files that define the structure "mtd_info". This *looks* like a file system and it seems it relies on some older kernel source. You probably need a newer version of new_yaffs.


I just tried the latest source from
git clone git://www.aleph1.co.uk/yaffs2
and that doesn't compile against the 3.6.3 kernel either.

You need to modify that filesystem code to make it work against the recent kernels.
The structure is defined in files like ....
/usr/src/kernels/*/include/linux/mtd/mtd.h
