[linux-lvm] Tools - Compile Problem

[stk at rmi.de]

Hello Luca,

thanks for your thoughts.
Meanwhile i have got the user tools to compile.

I added your #ifdef statement in /usr/include/devfs_kernel.h , 
and additionnally  i needed to add the following :

in /usr/include/linux/genhd.h

 #ifdef __KERNEL__
 #include <linux/devfs_kernel.h>
 #endif /* __KERNEL__ */

and in 0.8final/tools/lib/liblvm.h

 typedef struct devfs_entry * devfs_handle_t;

with this changes the user tools compiled cleanly,
but I still need to check the functionality - which
will happen early next week, when i return from a short
trip.

thanx and
best regards

Stefan
