Hello.
I have a problem with iBCS from 1.2.13 don't match 2.0.16.
I downloaded iBCS 2.0 but cannot compile this. I get warnings like
"function declaration isn't a prototype" and at the end of compilation
Error after executing "cc -pipe -b i486-linuxaout -c -o boot.o boot.S"
in the directory where boot.S found. The error message i have is "cc:
installation problem, cannot exec `cpp': no such file or directory" &
"*** [boot.o] Error 1", "*** [all] Error 2". I tried to compile iBCS
2.0 & 1.3 but get same errors. Help me if you can. Igor

You can just ignore the errors. I usually do "make" after un-tar-ing the
source, with no confih whatsoever and it works. The make breaks in the 2nd or
3rd subdirectory it visits --- but it does create the file "iBCS" in one of
the subdirs, and this is the module you are looking for. I usually move it to
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/ibcs.o, and have a script insmod it when needed.
