[TriLUG] Linux Kernel build

[Andy Hart]

I'm trying to build support into my kernel for an alpha version of the WD
7197 SCSI driver. In doing so, I'm rebuilding the kernel, but I'm running
into the following compile error:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.4.7/linux/include -Wall -W
strict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasi
ng -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i586    -c -o

The linux source is from the Red-Hat Source CDs from 7.2.
The wd719x driver source is from knowplace.org and has been used
successfully.

I did the following:

make xconfig
make depend
make clean
make bzImage

Any ideas?
