Bug Report. Compiling probs w/ kernel 2.4.9

Bug Report. Compiling probs w/ kernel 2.4.9

[Matt McLaughlin]

  To linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org:

  In trying to compile linux-2.4.9 with support for NTFS filesystem +w
perms.
Even though it is dangerous (supposevily) the kernel would still NOT
compile.

  So what I did to get it to compile was add '<linux/kernel.h>' to the
$kernel/fs/ntfs/unistr.c file.  Basically the only problem was that the
min(type,var1,var2) function was undeclared.

  Please make changes in the next release for future reference.  Thanks.

I should add that this has been fixed for ages and has been reported a
zillion times before. Checking the archives is always a good idea before
submitting bug reports for out of date kernels...
