ether_ctl build error: ‘SYSCALL_CALL’ undeclared (first use in this function)

[Chris]

Hello,

I have been following your Ether build instructions for our Lenny
system. Everything has worked fine up until the ether_ctl build step,
which produces the following errors:

error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
error: ‘SYSCALL_CALL’ undeclared (first use in this function)

Thanks for all of your help,
Chris

Did you do a make install in the xen directory?

Yes, that was it. That should probably be added to the "Building
Ether Controller" step in the build instructions:

Thanks,
Chris

Ok, glad it worked!

Hi I know this post is super old, but I've run into the same issue and I have tried 'make install' in my xen directory. My ether ctrl still does not build.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Danny

Hi,

Sorry for the late response. Xen 3.1 is very old, and the last versions of Debian released in the stable field where it would build was modified at the very end. I'm working on a KVM based replacement in my spare time. The effort has been stalled due to me moving to a job where I don't have time to work on it any longer.

Danny
