That is, doing a make in the kernel directory with SUBDIRS overridden (and CC modified to include our compat headers first). I've done it for the linux-gpib kernel modules without problems. It would probably mean abandoning 2.2 and earlier kernel support though. The current build system still has a couple issues I'm aware of. We don't define KBUILD_BASENAME (not sure what problems it might cause, but KBUILD_BASENAME is used in various asm kernel headers). Also, the vermagic.o file isn't linked into comedi modules, which causes them to taint the 2.6 kernel (I believe vermagic.o is supposed to prevent people from compiling the kernel and the modules with different versions of gcc). - -- Frank -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQFAOquY5vihyNWuA4URAuYeAJ9O+7H5vvDuIUljHUyhhvesXYz15gCgmC5j jiNLufpTzGrZRvBKcx5XQyk= =6MI+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
