I am currently compiling the kernel 2.2.13.
A problem occours, it said the "__cli() is not defined".
I wonder where the __cli() is defined in the kernel tree, which file is it
in ?
thanks a  lot.

(at 2.2.17preZZ - any reason for using 2.2.13?)

Where "your-kernel-foo-bar" is the source tree you are working with:

__cli() is defined in:

/usr/src/your-kernel-foo-bar/include/asm-ppc/system.h

asm-ppc is symlinked to /usr/src/your-kernel-foo-bar/include/asm by the
build process.

the function is implemented in:

/usr/src/your-kernel-foo-bar/arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S

It is *vital* to make sure that there is a symlink named 'linux' in /usr/src
that points to your /usr/src/your-kernel-foo-bar/ because there are symlinks
in /usr/include that expect to use this to find the build-specific headers.

hope this helps,
Iain.

Wasn't that the same guy that tried to build Linux kernels on a Windoze
system? The whole /usr/src and symlink stuff might be a bit tough to
pull off on such a box.
