how to resolve this error. It seems that there may some problems in the "pmem.c" file and i'll have to choose different git repository. but that would be a very complex thing, as now i have already done most of the things till here. I might have to see correct version of this file. please someone tell what should i do?

how to solve this errors.

please help..thankyou!

The way to sort this stuff is to grab the first essential error, and google it. In this case

pmem.c:441: error: conflicting types for ‘phys_mem_access_prot’

Which usually yields an answer, in this case
