It now compiles and works.
afaics this should not be necessary at all. the header in http://packages.slackverse.org/?v=3&p=316 includes linux/types.h itself at the top (as expected). can you explain why yours does not?
Old kernel headers. We already fixed that incompatibility in r1517, which is shortly after 0.9.5.2
Oh my...
% ls -l /usr/include/linux/spi/spidev.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4595 Nov 14 2008 /usr/include/linux/spi/spidev.h
2008 !?! You are absolutely right.
% grep LINUX_VERSION_CODE /usr/include/linux/version.h #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132635
That's version 2.6.27 ! I'll have a look around.
