Hi,

I am trying to build XFS from CVS (2.4.19-pre10) with the backport of kbuild 
2.5 by Paul P Komkoff Jr

http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0206.0/0044.html 

Unfortunately, the build structure in XFS CVS for the 2.4 kernel is giving me 
headache. It looks like these are simply the files copied from the XFS 2.5 
kernel tree. E.g.  the fs/xfs_support subdirectory is not addressed. I played 
around with the existing files in XFS CVS (Makefile.in/Makefile.in.append), 
added "link_subdirs(xfs xfs_dmapi xfs_support)" to fs/Makefile.in, and it 
compiles, but got linker errors when linking vmlinux (multiple definitions).

--------------snip 'make -f Makefile-2.5'---------------------

I think I didn't set up kbuild 2.5 correctly. I am not a kbuild expert so 
please forgive me if this is a newbie question: Can somebody help me out with 
working Makefile.in's for 2.4 XFS CVS tree and kbuild 2.5 Version 3.0?

It would be great to supply the 2.4 XFS kernel tree in the SGI CVS ready for 
kbuild 2.5.

Many thanks, and keep up the good work, I enjoy XFS very much!
