Re: CVS version wouldn't compile under 2.6.7

Daniel,

the thing is that the build system is changing basically from version to 
version. It's very hard to make comedi compile under all kernel 
versions. We discussed this here that basically support for 2.6.x starts 
with 2.6.6 I think because of these issues.

Have you tried the newest one: 2.6.8.1?

comedi with 2.6.7 compiled on my machine without any problems.

You can also try out my patched kernel 2.6.8.1-comedi. It contains 
comedi already.
