Unable to compile modem driver
 

:study: PCTel - Chip set I am in such a way...... I have alittle problem (for some peeps it is little, but for me it is a big problem).

Let me explain:

I copied these files into the following directies:

/lib/pctel.o
/lib/control.a
/lib/dsp.a
/lib/hal.a
/src/module/Makefile
/src/module/ptmodule.c

and I ran these commands:

cd /src/module
make
cd /lib/
insmod pctel.o c 62 79

pctel.o: The module you are trying to load (pctel.o) is compiled with a gcc
version 2 compiler, while the kernel you are running is compiled with
a gcc version 3 compiler. This is known to not work.

mknod /dev/ttyS15 c 62 79
chgrp uucp /dev/ttyS15
chmod 666 /dev/ttyS15
ln -s /dev/ttyS15
cp /lib/pctel.o /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl

After all of this (I was very nervus - doing these things (:newbie: ))

Can anyone tell me why or how I can to recomplie the .c to be compatable with the gcc 3???

I'd find it a bit odd that you should have a different version
of gcc installed than the one your kernel is built with ...


My suggestion is that you remove the binary files from
that source directory (at least the .o file), and do the make
again.

Your first make has probably not done anything, since the
files you copied were all from the same time and date :}
