Compiling iproute2(w/HTB patch) for 2.5.51

Compiling iproute2(w/HTB patch) for 2.5.51

[axel]

Hi,

having read an article about QoS and HTB in a German computer magazine I
wanted to implement such thing on my linux router running kernel 2.5.51.
First I patched the iproute2-020116.tar.gz package with the htb3.6_tc.diff 
from http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/htb/ and started building it. But
unfortunately it resulted in strange compile errors I do not understand.

Hope this is some help for you and I am not doing something terribly wrong.

Best regards,
Axel Siebenwirth

There are no such problems with 2.4.20.

I have the exact same problem with sysklogd and I found 
that linux/module.h has a lot of new includes in 2.5 
that indirectly brings in a lot of .h files that 
shouldn't be included from userspace. 

Because of this you get both the compilers definition 
of FD_SET etc and the kernels version. I have not yet 
had the time to find out how to solve this but the 
solution is either to remove some includes or to add 
more #ifdef __KERNEL__. 

Question 1: Should it at all be possible to compile 
applications with 2.5.x headers? 

Question 2: Is there any chance that we can remove 
or #ifdef some includes in module.h (e.g. sched.h)?
