Best place to ask this question: error with compiler.h when switchingfrom 2.6.32 to 2.6.36

[Derek Nielson]

Last week I posted on here about a problem I am having switching from
kernel 2.6.32 to 2.6.36 and compiling modules against the kernel.  I
was not able to get a response and I'm thinking it's because this is
the wrong place to post this question.  Where is the best place to ask
this kind of question?  Is there another mailing list that I should be
posting to?

Thanks

I am switching from Kernel 2.6.32 to Kernel 2.6.36.  The kernel builds
fine but when I compile a module (that worked with the previously
kernel) against the new kernel I am getting an error that I don't
understand.

Here is the error:

In file included from include/linux/string.h:10,
                 from
/mnt/local/home/linux-omap-2.6/arch/arm/include/asm/uaccess.h:14,
                 from /home/my_module/my_module.c:24:
include/linux/compiler.h:62: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or
‘__attribute__’ before ‘struct’
make[2]: *** [/home/my_module/my_module.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/my_module] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/local/home/linux-omap-2.6'
make: *** [release] Error 2

I found this thread http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/17/213 and tried
following their solution but it didn't fix the problem.

Does anyone know how to fix this error?
