pcmcia-cs-3.2.1 Won't Compile

CrackerStealth · 07-16-2003

I was following blackwaves instructions to installing Kisme. I'm using Slackware 9.0 (Current) as the base distro on my laptop. The problem I'm having is during the compiling of the pcmcia-cs-3.2.1 services, once I type "make all" it just scrolls errors, and I mean alot of errors.

Can anyone tell exactly which packages I need to install from the Slack distro in order for the pcmcia-cs services to compile properly? Or can soneone tell me how to log the errors so I can post them here. (make all > ./log.txt does not work, I just get the basic compile line)

Did you do a make config first? Did you config it with valid info? One catch you _may_ or may not be running into is the fact that slackware 9.0 does not allow for installing kernel source off the cuff... you'd need to get it off of disc 2 or download the .tgz off a slackware mirror... or just be a little more uber and go with a newer kernel anyways

Any rate... a little more background info is needed

Yes i did run make config first. I set it up with Trusting off, 32-bit on, Hot Swap off. I'm using Linux Kernel 2.4.19 and yes I have the source code to the kernel installed. Its installed in /usr/src/linux-2.4.19 with a symlink from /usr/src/linux

I guess I can tell you my laptop is a Thinkpad 760el. Not a very good computer to install anything on because I can't have both a floppy and a cd-rom at the same time. They're swappable and the cd-rom is not bootable. Not to mention so far the only distro that recognizes my cd-rom at all was Knoppix-STD but I can't do a HD install of that because it requires a 2.2 Gb or large hd and mine is only 1.02 GB. I had to install Slackware using SlackFTP http://slackftp.sourceforge.net/

I've got gcc 3.2 and glibc 2.3.1. One note is that I am not running any X-Windows system. Anything else I can tell you? At any rate I'm gonna try a fresh install of Slackware this afternoon. As it turns out the FTP site I downloaded Slackware-current from was only up to date to November 10, 2002....

hmm... this probably doesn't do much for solving the compile issue.. but why the 2.4.19 kernel? Slackware 9.0 ships with 2.4.20, and the current is 2.4.21... in fact, iirc, didn't blackwave use 2.4.20 in his howto?

It does, but the FTP site I downloaded the -current section from hadn't been updated in a while so the -current folder was older then the SLackware-9 folder. At any rate I downloaded current from a new FTP server and installed it on my machine, and this time I installed all the D (Development Packages) and L (Library Packages) and pcmcia-cs compiled fine. So everything is working, I guess I just chose not to install a package or two that was required to compile pcmcia-cs. Right now I'm compiling ethereal. (Compiling takes forever on a p120, *sigh*)

Thanks for your help thus far c0nv3r9.

Just wait till you compile a new kernel! Of course, you can compile your kernel on a faster machine and then copy it over...

I've compiled my own kernel for my OpenBSD 3.3 router. Its a P120 with 16 whopping MB of RAM. LOL Everything loads quicker on it but I fear that the HD is about to crash because every so often after a reboot, I get a bunch of "Cannot Read Sector on /dev/rwdg0" errors. Some bad blocks I guess.
