SSB uses a bool (SSB_PCMCIAHOST_POSSIBLE) to determine whether to build in PCMCIA support or not, as the PCMCIA host code itself is also only a bool, make SSB_PCMCIAHOST_POSSIBLE depend on PCMCIA=y. Without this, SSB_PCMCIAHOST_POSSIBLE evaluates to y when PCMCIA is built as a module, which results in link errors due to the pcmcia_access_configuration_register() accesses, where the symbol is only defined in a module.

There we go. The usual SELECT dependency hell again... Would changing SSB_PCMCIAHOST_POSSIBLE to tristate also fix it? What would be the sideeffects? I think this PCMCIA=y is not good, because it's perfectly legal to build PCMCIA as module, while SSB and everything that depends on SSB is also a module. Would tristate fix that? -- Greetings Michael. -
I tried that first, if you do that you have to change the default to SSB && PCMCIA, and then anything that depends on it also has to be a tristate. That worked ok for SSB_PCMCIAHOST, but it didn't work ok for the b43 wireless + PCMCIA, which is why I opted for the PCMCIA=y thing instead, which makes sure that SSB_PCMCIAHOST can't be enabled if PCMCIA is modular. -
Ok, so much for "SELECT is easy and it works if used correctly..." :) Well, let's apply that patch then. It needlessly restricts the choice to not allow modular pcmcia in that case, though. -- Greetings Michael. -
That is the compromise, yes. Feel free to propose a better solution ;-) -
I just ran into this link error (CONFIG_PCMCIA=m; CONFIG_SSB_PCMCIAHOST=y). No big deal; I don't have the hardware. -- Joseph Fannin jfannin@gmail.com -
