APMD

[Ba-Dg-Er]

Trying to install APMD on slackware 9...

I get this after typing "make"...

In file included from apmsleep.c:49:

Anyone know what's going on? Thanks

hello,
my 1st guess is that headers are missing or that there is an issue with the defined LOCK_SECTION_START .

btw - welcome to ljr

Correct me if I'm wrong, but apmd is part of the kernel, no? I think in a case like this it might be a wiser choice to recompile your kernel and put apmd support into it rather than trying to compile separately.
