Hi
I am trying to learn how to compile and am following the example given in http://puppy.b0x.me/wiki/doku.php?id=compile. I am using Dpup Exprimo 5.X.13 on a frugal install which makes it easy to load the devx sfs. I can't get past the configure stage and this is a copy of the log. Googling the problem shows that I am missing headers. I have searched forums for solutions but none seemed to apply to Puppy.
Thanks for any suggestions

Dpup Exprimo 5.X.13 uses Iguleder`s kernel. The kernel and kernel header has been created by builder script which has a bug which I found recently. The bug causes that /usr/include/linux misses a lot needed kernel headers.
Take devx from Dpup Exprimo 5.X.10.3. There is a thread in this derivative section which has that name and you find a download link from the first page of that thread.

Now that I know that bug exists...I can compile the kernel again and that way I get the proper kernel headers to the devx sfs. Next Dpup Exprimo has that fixed devx sfs.
I only realized that bug when I used another kernel builder script which was based to that Igulder`s builder script and I got samekind error...as you did when I tried to compile app....then I started to trace the reason and I find out that aufs3 standalone Kbuild file was copied over kernel existing Kbuild file /linux/include folder. This causes that kernel headers for compiling are defective.
EDIT: I can load the devx sfs over existing one this evening. Easier this way.

Devx sfs for Dpup Exprimo reuploaded after kernel recompile. It has now full /usr/include header content.

Hi pemasu
Many thanks for your help. It was an extremely quick response. I used the other dev.sfs file and that worked fine. The learning experience can continue. I will try your new one soon.
Thanks

Hi pemasu
I have downloaded the new dev.sfs file twice and checked the md5sum. I get the following:
8d0d0c192beed590b110c61c588a0be7 devx_squeeze_5.X.13.sfs
