Hi all,

I am trying to compile the latest sources of uClinux ,but am getting this error when executing make :

In file included from include/linux/spinlock.h:53,

from include/linux/capability.h:47,

from include/linux/sched.h:46,

from arch/blackfin/kernel/asm-offsets.c:31:

make: *** [linux] Erreur 1

Does any one know where va_list is defined ?Should i install some other libraries ;

PS : I tried to replace va_list by char[][] -just to test it - ,the error is now :

stdargs.h :unknown file ..

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for answering ,

i had a binutils-dev not installed and ncurses ,but i am not going to install ncurses on this system -i already reported a bug on it yesterday https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ncurses/+bug/247511.

I thought it is used only for the minimal graphic output -like for the bios blue screen-

anyway ,i compiled it without errors when i had slackware on my computer ,so am installing a minimal debian system ,that i will use to compile systems.
