It is a problem in the PCMCIA Configure script

The Configure script for PCMCIA is getting confused by the difference in the kernel version names (2.2.12-20 vs 2.2.12-20smp), and I didn't catch this before because I guess few people have tried building PCMCIA on a new Red Hat SMP kernel with the "smp" embedded in the version information. Try the 21-Feb-00 beta on sourceforge.org in /pcmcia/NEW and see if that works better. -- Dave

Configure Script ? Re: It is a problem in the PCMCIA Configure script (David Hinds) Date: 2000, Feb 27 From: ehlarson

Hi - I tried the beta with the configure script changes, and found that it has the problem of placing the resulting modules in the wrong directory. After some further experimentation it seems to me that the best way to deal with it is to edit the kernel makefile version string. This way everybody agrees on exactly what is going on. Also - I found that when compiling for SMP the resulting PCMIA modules are looking for APM functions - this can be fixed by also turning off APM in the kernel makefile, but methinks that PCMCIA should not be looking for them as APM is not going to be around when SMP is active. Thanks.

1. I'll fix module placement; I disagree on the APM thing by David Hinds, 2000, Feb 28
