Hi Guys,
    having problems trying to do a make with the modules-1.2.8.


    Background: My final aim is to run the emumodule.o for dosemu-0.60.4
                so, I've set CONFIG_MODVERSIONS within the kernel, and
                compiled without problems. Now the reason why I got ahold
                of modules-1.2.8 was that the Configure.help talking about
                CONFIG_MODVERSIONS said that you needed genksyms. So thats
                why I am working with modules-1.2.8.
                I have recently gone over to elf, and have been running a
                combined a.out and elf libraries without too many problems.

    What I have done:
       the kernel I am using is 1.2.13, and having looked at the file
       vital-patch-for-linux-1.2.8 and compared it against the files
       module.c and ppp.c, by 1.2.13 they seem to already have been patched
       in the way that modules-1.2.8 is expecting. No worries.
    What is happening:
       I go into the /usr/wrc/modules-1.2.8 directory and do a make or
       make install. The insmod and genksyms sections go without a problem,
       when we get to depmod I get the error message 
modprobe.c
modprobe.c: In function `void verbose(const char * ...)':
modprobe.c:22: parse error before `('
modprobe.c: In method `int DEPEND::insmod(const chat *, class NODE **, char **)':
       and then it goes on a bit and stops.
       I thought the problem was something to do with the fact that I had gone
to elf, so I went into each subdirectory underneath modules-1.2.8 and edited
each Makefile so that each occurrence of gcc, or cc had -b i486-linuxaout on it
but still no help. 

       At the end of the day all I need for CONFIG_MODVERSIONS to work is
genksyms, and that is fine, but I wanted to resolve this problem with depmod
as I am having no success with loading emumodule.o so I wanted to get this
problem resolved before I start to tackle the dosemu one.

Please email replies to gdave@doh.health.nsw.gov.au, that is my work address.
When I get an answer to this problem I will post a solution.

Many Thanks
Graham Daveney
