Kernel compile errors, deprecated end of line?


I downloaded Slackware 9, installed the base set, networking, compilation, kernel, and libraries packages, and without adding/changing anything else I went to a kernel compile to add SMP processing and compile the right SCSI driver into the kernel.

Why would Slackware be giving me numerous errors like:

user/src/linux/include/asm/smpboot.h:26 warning: deprecated use of label at end of compound statement

user/src/linux/include/[whatever] warning: multi-line string literals are deprecated


I tried to direct the error output to a text file, but the bad errors still appeared on the screen while the actual actions ended up in the text file. Yet another thing to piss me off Of course, the errors are on the compilation of the SCSI controller and the SMP support.

From what little I understand, these sort of errors, they're due to incompatibility between the code and the compiler...but this all came right from Slackware, and their site (and most every other source on the internet) it's as simple as 'make mrproper', 'make menuconfig', 'make dep', 'make clean', and 'make bzImage'. What could possibly be wrong in my situation?

Warnings are just that... warnings, you'll still able to compile your kernel successfully.

Ideally, the code should be "clean up"-ed... but it seems that the kernel hackers have more important things in mind.

well, then...

Why doesn't the kernel I compiled boot right?!!? oh well, maybe I need to look at deeper things -- thanks for your help!
