rzscontrol syntax error problem #62

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. patch the kernel 2.6.29(htc Tattoo)
2. add options 'ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILER=arm-eabi-gcc' to all make command
3. cross compile ramzswap
4. insmod xvmalloc.ko; insmod ramzswap.ko disksize_kb=30720, it works well
4. run 'rzscontrol /dev/block/ramzswap0 -stats', it shows me 'rzscontrol:
1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected' error

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
compcache 0.6.2 for htc Tattoo(arm, 2.6.29)

Please provide any additional information below.
arm-eabi-gcc version: 4.4.0, compile compcache on debian squeeze.

Please close this issue. '*-gcc -static' should fix it. Thanks.

Thanks for the fix! But I couldn't understand why 'static' is needed on ARM? 
Maybe I
should add this ARM specific hack to Makefile.

I'm planning to get rid to rzscontrol and instead, make all stats and 
configurable parameters available through sysfs. Closing this issue.

So this has been fixed?

I added -static switch to Makefile and nothing...

"@gcc -static -g -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE rzscontrol.c -o rzscontrol -I ../include 
-I../.."

Same here - no matter what I've tried, I get the same syntax error - compiled 
it exactly as the instructions suggested - adding '-static' did nothing for me 
... this does not seem to be a 'compile' issue either, as I've taken an 
rzscontrol file from another ROM where it works, put it in mine, and I get the 
same error.  Is this expecting anything set in the environment, or perhaps a 
specific shell?

I hope to release a new version of compcache that does not require rzscontrol. 
Its under testing and I hope to get it out really soon (few days).

Thanks for the quick response, will keep checking back!

Obviously I'm not getting something quite right - rzscontrol (after compiling) 
runs fine on Ubuntu which means it compiled for Ubuntu and not ARM - what am I 
missing?  The ONLY thing I changed was Makefile in root dir to point to my 
kernel directory ...

I am also having this problem.  I've tried -static and it does not fix the 
problem

I got this to work by changing @gcc in sub-project/rzcontrol/Makefile to my 
specific compiler which happens to be arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc

I should also mention -static was not needed

The version of compcache (called zram) included in mainline (check staging-2.6 
tree) does not require rzscontrol and all configuration and stats are visible 
through sysfs. I'm no longer maintaining this old compcache-0.6.2 version, so 
can you please try mainline/staging tree version instead.
