Hi,
I've been compiling various stuff under a Sheeva-with-Linux 2.6.34.2 Kernel / Debian Squeeze. Most programs compiled all right once I had build-essential etc.
This one doesn't and I'm no developer so I have difficulty in understanding the issue - and would appreciate your help. Error message says:
Plugin mcli:

I've now done further digging and the file that the debugger stumbles over just contains:
link ../common/mld_common.c
...and in fact that's where the actual source file is. If I go ahead and replace the text file containing the link with a symlink to the source file, the compiler gos ahead and produces "mld_common.o" - before it stalls at the next link contained in a textfile.
So apparently the linking stuff is the issue. Is there any way I can tell gcc in the makefile to follow these links? It's quite a couple so making symlinks would take time...
Any help appreciated.
Thanks very much!
