Compiling HAL 0.5.8 and BLKGETSIZE problems

Hi again,

Well, that kind of wrecked everything, wasn't able to compile anything after
that :(

Anyway, I did a fresh install of VectorLinux 5.8, and then had a look at the
defines in /usr/include/linux/fs.h. BLKGETSIZE64 was not correctly defined
it seems.

I changed this line:

#define BLKGETSIZE64 _IOR(0x12,114,sizeof(u64))

to this:

#define BLKGETSIZE64 _IOR(0x12,114,size_t)

Horay! the configure worked!
But unfortunately the make fails.
As you can see it bombs out after a short while, with lots of complaining:

*so damn close!*  :(

Any extra ideas you may have are very welcome.
Thanks again.

Eugéne
