Can't compile ntfs modules with 2.4.9

Can't compile ntfs modules with 2.4.9

[Juergen Rose]

Hello,

compiling linux-2.4.9 I get:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src_mousehomenet/linux-2.4.9/include -Wall 
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer 
-fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 
-march=i686 -malign-functions=4  -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include 
/usr/src_mousehomenet/linux-2.4.9/include/linux/modversions.h 
-DNTFS_VERSION=\"1.1.16\"   -c -o unistr.o unistr.c
unistr.c: In function `ntfs_collate_names':
unistr.c:99: warning: implicit declaration of function `min'
unistr.c:99: parse error before `unsigned'
unistr.c:99: parse error before `)'
unistr.c:97: warning: `c1' might be used uninitialized in this function
unistr.c: At top level:
unistr.c:118: parse error before `if'
unistr.c:123: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `c1'
unistr.c:123: `name1' undeclared here (not in a function)
unistr.c:123: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
unistr.c:124: parse error before `if'
make[2]: *** [unistr.o] Error 1

Is there any help?

With best regards

edit unistr.c, go to line 98. insert the following lines:

#undef min
#define min(a,b) (a<b?a:b)

The correct solution is to edit fs/ntfs/unistr.c and to add:

#include <linux/kernel.h>

to the other includes at the top of the file.
