 Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2008 1:39 am Post subject: Help with compiling a driver |
 |
|
I'm trying to install a driver for my CWlinux LCD screen that I got from here http://www.cwlinux.com/downloads/lcd/driver/. These are the errors I'm getting when I try to compile it via make. The one thing I noticed is it says linux-2.4 on the top. And I use a 2.6 kernel. Do I edit the make file or what? Or will this driver just not work for me?

well, the file is over 5 years old now according to your link and all the errors claim missing files, so im guessing it wont work on new (or any) 2.6.x kernel.
Have you tried to see if there is any newer support? There is some lcd screen support in newer 2.6.23 and .24 kernels from what ive seen while looking, perhaps a place to start looking if you havnt already?
Just ran a quick search through portage and try taking a look at lcdproc, it appears to have a cwlinux use_expand flag that may work for you.

d4mo, As Nick C said, this driver is over 5 years old. (although CWlinux shows it to be current) I am no expert but your linux simlink in /etc/src should point to your correct kernel, so I would replace the first line in the makefile ( /etc/src/linux2.4/include ) with | Code: | | /etc/src/linux/include |
You may get further. BUT, look at your error output: | Code: | | gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4/include -DCPU=586 -march=i586 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 |
Notice the -D__KERNEL__. The complier is not resolving this. ( unless pointing to the correct include file magically fixes it.)
As I said, I no expert, but this is my $0.14 worth (2 cents adjusted for inflation).
Searching the CWlinux LCD, there appear to be later rivers, but I an not exactly sure what lcd you have. Check out this link https://ssl.bulix.org/projects/lcd4linux/wiki/CwLinux and poke around from there. You may find a better driver.

| Well here's the thing. I can get it to work with the kernel module. I didn't realize the driver was so old, but I was going to give it a shot, because when using the screen with LCDproc I get weird artifacts on the screen. Like it's not updating correctly or something. There will be black boxes that will remain even after the screen switches. |

It's a CWlinux 12232 USB display. It's graphical, but I'm not sure of that resolution but as a character screen it's 20x4. I'm using it with LCDd and LCDproc to display the default information. But It just looks terrible. On some screens the tops row scrolls, somethings are formatted right. When I go to the next screen it will keep some black blocks randomly on the screen. It's almost like it doesn't refresh or redraw the whole screen properly.
Even if I just have LCDd running, and try to go to a menu(on the screen is self with the built in buttons) I still get the artifacts. |

| Thank mjf55. I'll have to try that. I assume I'll have to edit that diff statement, right? |

Correct. Then install them. Then it should work like a champ.

Thanks mjf55. It works great now. No artifacts or anything. The only thing that is wrong now is, after it's been on for a couple of hourse the whole screen goes black and freezes up. I haven't really looked into it yet. I don't know if it's the server or the client messing up. |
