uClinux kernel for NIOSII build error

Hello,

I have been using the "test-nios2" build release for my uClinux kernel. I can make a successful build when I do a fresh git checkout. I can make modifications via make menuconfig and have been able to get network communication working, create a kernel driver to work with my hardware and read data from my board. However, on several occasions now, if I go into menuconfig to add something new to the kernel such as POSIX Message Queues which is what I did this last time. I get the following build error. It is always the same. The mm.h file is being included and on line 599, I get" implicit declaration of function `virt_to_phys'" see below.

In file included from /home/jkealty/nios2-linux/linux-2.6/arch/nios2/kernel/traps.c:33:

/home/jkealty/nios2-linux/linux-2.6/include/linux/mm.h: In function `lowmem_page_address':

The only way I can resolve this is to remove my nios2-linux folder and all folders underneath and extract from the tar file and git checkout the test-nios2 branch for /nios2-linux/linux-2.6 and /nios2-linux/uClinux-dist. Again!

I can then start off with a basic make menuconfig, make Vendors_HWSelect SYSPTF= my hardware image ptf, then a final make. I then bring back in my kernel driver and user app source code.

So, my question to the forum: Is anyone else getting this same type of behaviour?

If so, what did you do to resolve it? What is causing the problem with mm.h?

Thanks,

John
