Compilation errors unresolved (can't figure out what's wrong) (Examined/Solved - lm_sensors 2.6.5 Linux red 2.4.18-17.8.0)

[contact]

I tried to follow the building instructions as closely as possible. However,

when I get to kernel/busses/dmi_scan.c in the make process, I get a bunch of

errors with respect to include files. I have included the error output below

and if you need it I can always send the make log as well. I'm desparate as

I've spent way too much time late at night trying to figure this out. Help!

Thanks in advance,

Stuart

make: *** [kernel/busses/dmi_scan.o] Error 1

--- well I just fixed the multi-line string warnings. thanks.

For the errors, your headers look in bad shape.

Does /usr/src/linux-2.4 contain the source for the kernel you are running?

Perhaps make LINUX=..... to point to better headers would help.

If it's only dmi_scan that is dying

(run make -k to keep going even after errors) then only

i2c-piix4 won't compile, the rest will be fine.

Good luck.
