promblem compiling skas patch

[Rus Foster]

Hi All,
OK I know the following isn't a standard part of the kernel, and if
someone could point me to somewhere more appropiate I would be greatfule.
Anyway I've downloaded a vanilla 2.4.21 and the skas patch from
http://kernels.usermodelinux.org/host/

However when compling at the end of make Bzimage I'm getting

        /usr/src/linux-2.4.21/arch/i386/lib/lib.a
/usr/src/linux-2.4.21/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-2.4.21/arch/i386/lib/lib.a
\
        --end-group \
        -o vmlinux
arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o: In function `sys_ptrace':
arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o(.text+0x50c9): undefined reference to
`proc_mm_get_mm'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1


Can anyone shed any light on this?

This is a mistake in the patch which you can work around by enabling
CONFIG_PROC_MM.  The patch is kind of pointless if you don't turn that on.

Yeah I foundI've just ofund out what is happening. I use make menuconfig
and there is a slight bug the /proc/mm will only show on the menu if you
select APM (which as it was a server I had turned off). Its just
recompiled cleanly

Thanks
