*** Multi application core requires Fusion Kernel Device

[surrey]

Hi,

I am compiling vlc.
# emerge -a vlc

it give me following error messages,

Appreciate very much if anyone can advise.

Do you have fusion support compiled into the kernel?

I don't know.

How to compile fusion support into kernel?

Thx

[Maliwik]

check http://www.mail-archive.com/directfb-users@directfb.org/msg01353.html

different programs, but same error message

I do not know how, I do not have /usr/src/linux/include/linux/fusion.h

I only have /usr/src/linux-2.6.26-gentoo-r4/include/config/fusion.h

but it is empty
sudo find /usr/src -iname fusion.h -type f -exec ls -l {} \;
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 24 22:05 /usr/src/linux-2.6.26-gentoo-r4/include/config/fusion.h

[Maliwik]

Try copying /usr/src/linux-2.6.26-gentoo-r4/include/config/fusion.h to /usr/src/linux/include/linux/fusion.h

Yeh,

I don't know why it is a zero size file

ls -l /usr/src/linux-2.6.26-gentoo-r4/include/config/fusion.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 24 22:05 /usr/src/linux-2.6.26-gentoo-r4/include/config/fusion.h

Which package include this file? I may re-install it.

Trying to emerge package linux-fusion in bid to solve the emerge vlc difficulty also get following error messages.

$ sudo emerge -a dev-libs/linux-fusion

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

*** Multi application core requires Fusion Kernel Device----- solve***


In order to enable the fusion you need to have the fusion.h file at proper place and the place is your GDB.
In my case I have compiled the linux-fusion-8.1.1 and copied the fusion.h file as follows....

cp /home/pravin/Downloads/linux-fusion-8.0.3/linux/include/linux/fusion.h /opt/mipsel-linux-gcc-sdk-3.4.4/cross/mipsel-linux/include/linux/

cp /home/pravin/Downloads/linux-fusion-8.1.1/linux/include/linux/fusion.h /opt/mipsel-linux-gcc-sdk-3.4.4/staging/mipsel-linux/include/linux/

Her I am crosscompiling for mips base platform so I am using GCC 3.4.4 which is installed in /opt on my host.
On ./configure you will get

checking linux/fusion.h usability... yes
checking linux/fusion.h presence... yes
checking for linux/fusion.h... yes

also

Misc options:
Multi Application Core yes
Fusion Kernel Device yes

have to tried isolating the vlc compilation flag that requires it?
