Make error for LDD3 Examples

Richard.Yang · 08-17-2009, 03:13 AM

Hi, all

I have just downloaded the examples for
Linux Device Drivers.

While there are so many errors. I just type "make" under the
scull directory.

Anyone got an idea?

the error message is like this

error: linux/malloc.h: No such file or directory

This means I should reconfig the kernel? and compile it?

'linux/malloc.h' : not to be found in /usr/include/linux/
nor in the source linux-2.6.xx-x/include/linux/.
( May be present in kernel 2.2 or 2.4 ? )

If you want to use the old files, why not Google .. LDD3 Examples ..
and find e.g.

" Re: LDD3 examples advice "

... and please look into the other messages
at the bottom of the page, for more info.

I am not very sure about your suggestion.

and I couldn't open the link

The link works fine here.
Or use Google, the link is the fourth hit, first page.
And is just an example, there is lots of other info.

'/linux/malloc.h is present in kernel 2.4.xx ,
example : Slackware 10.2 .
