Hello All,

I had this same problem before but I can't remember the solution.  When I
try to compile the kernel (from the sources I ftp'd from ftp.iastate.edu
on 24th of Oct), I always get this:

cpp -DPROF -I/news/sys/lib/libkern -Imachine/.. -I. -I/news/sys/lib/libkern/../..
-I/news/sys/lib/libkern/arch/m68k -I/news/sys/lib/libkern/../../../lib/libc/arch/
m68k /news/sys/lib/libkern/arch/m68k/bcmp.S |  as -o bcmp.po
In file included from /news/sys/lib/libkern/machine/asm.h:7, from /news/sys/lib/
libkern/arch/m68k/DEFS.h:3, from /news/sys/lib/libkern/arch/m68k/bcmp.S:46:
/news/sys/lib/libkern/m68k/asm.h:65: `#' operator is not followed by a macro
argument name
as: /news/sys/lib/libkern/arch/m68k/bcmp.S:56: Error: "instruction/operands
mismatch" -- Statement 'link a6,0' ignored
*** Error code 1

Stop.

I am running the latest binaries (21st of Oct) and gcc version 2.4.5.
I ftp'd the kernel source using get sys.tar and then tar xvf'ed it here
on an empty partition.  I then run config.new GENERIC / make depend / make
- and make fails.

I also get warnings compiling locore.s:
../../amiga/locore.s:120: unterminated character constant
../../amiga/locore.s:680: unterminated character constant
../../amiga/locore.s:718: unterminated character constant
../../amiga/locore.s:837: unterminated character constant
../../amiga/locore.s:850: unterminated character constant
../../amiga/locore.s:859: unterminated character constant
../../amiga/locore.s:1461: unterminated character constant
../../amiga/locore.s:1485: unterminated character constant

These come from the lines with a single ' on them.  Several warnings of the
same kind from ../../../../arch/m68k/m68k/oc_cksum.s, too.

What on earth am I doing wrong?  Many people have mentioned that they
don't even get warnings when compiling the kernel.  I get warnings and
then make fails. :-(

Please help,

  Jukka Marin


P.S. I have a time limit daemon running on my system.  The daemon kicks out
     users who exceed their on-line time on dial-in modem lines.  The time
     limit can be set individually for the users and/or globally for the
     system.  If you want to betatest the daemon, drop me a mail message.
     Thanks.
