Hi, I finally felt the urge to get MidiShare to work on my new SuSE 9.1 system; attached are the patches I was able to come up with (against midishare cvs from 2 or 3 days ago). I hope that these work on other kernel 2.6 based systems, too, but I've not tested this, so any feedback is appreciated. The main changes are in the build system (kernel 2.6 uses a different procedure to build kernel modules; I used some kludges to make the MidiShare module build the recommended way, if anyone can make this any prettier please let me know ;-), and in the scheduling of the timer task in the MidiShare kernel module -- queue_task() and the timer queue are no more, I used add_timer() and friends instead. Also, the module name is now "midishare.ko", as the new build system doesn't let you build a module whose name is the same as one of its constituent parts (i.e., MidiShare.o). I've tested this stuff under SuSE 9.1 with SuSE's 2.6.4 kernel, and so far it seems to work ok. I'll also make SuSE 9.1 and source rpms available on q-lang.sf.net in the course of the next few days. If anyone needs to have those immediately, just email me.
