Hi! This patch fixes troubles when compiling some applications that include , like xmms. When I was compiling xmms I've got: In file included from /usr/include/asm/byteorder.h:57, from /usr/include/linux/cdrom.h:14, from cdaudio.h:60, from cdaudio.c:21: /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:43: error: parse error before "__cpu_to_le64p" /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h: In function `__cpu_to_le64p': /usr/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:45: error: `__le64' undeclared (first use in this function) ...etc... I've put the __le(16|32|64) and __be(16|32|64) typedefs out of #ifndef __KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES and now everything is working. Xmms is compiling fine, and linux kernel too. :) Maybe I made something wrong, because this is my first patch to linux kernel... But everything is working fine for me. Regards, Cadu
