I'm hitting a number of build errors, trying to compile a hybrid
between the two.
git checkout v2.6.24-rc4
git checkout v2.6.23 include/linux/input.h drivers/input
make
# fails with kconfig issues
git checkout v2.6.24-rc4 drivers/input/misc/Kconfig
make
# fails
...adding to include/linux/input.h:
#define KEY_CNT (KEY_MAX+1)
takes the build a little farther until it dies on more missing
definitions. Doing a checkout of 2.6.24-rc4's include/linux/input.h
leads to different build errors.
Looking at git log for drivers/input, it appears the patches you're
talking about are the ones starting with 8006479c9b? If so, perhaps I
should just build the revision right before that commit and test that?
