Subject: Trying to compile linux 0.98, where is protocols.h ?
Date: 23 Oct 1992 16:33:05 GMT


  Hi,
     I decided to install Linux 0.98, having got the source, and the patches
     0.98.patch1, 0.98.patch2 .

     I tought I'd be clever and save my self sometime, by installing all 3
     i.e Linux 0.98 and both patches together. I followed, Linus's README
     file from /usr/src/linux/, here he mentions getting hold of

       /usr/include/netinet/protocols.h
    
     I cant find this any where,
      
     [Q] Where is it, and Why is it not included in the release LINUX.0.98 ?

     Anyway, as I was not installing tcp/ip stuff for the moment, I thought
     I'd carry on to make the Image file.

      ie in /usr/src/linux

         make ROOT_DEV=/dev/hda2 Image

     This happily carried on to complie, and link various libraries and then
     all of a sudden (As these things do happen all of a sudden !
     there whoosh ! bang !! wollap !!!) the make stopped with an ERROR [1]
     while compling files in
             /linux/kernel/math/
     saying things like
            union ....... `cwd` not found I think

     Sorry, about the vague message here.
          
     [Q] Does anyone out there know whats going on ?

     For Information, my current system is the MCC-interim 0.97pl2 .
     And I am running gcc 2.2.2.d .

     [Q] Is there any way of finding out version release of GCC, as
         a number of products say you must have at least version .... ?
       
         If not, why not have an option, something like

         gcc -V

     Thanks to all those who reply.

      Tarang
