Oh, what do you want with udev in that environment, it depends on
sysfs and uevents wich are only in 2.6 kernels.

Your kernel headers are too old, you need recent headers to compile it.

Maybe you can copy netlink.h from more recent package, never tried that.

Or maybe just adding #include <linux/types.h> may make most of the
warnings go away, and NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT you can define to 15, if
that still fails.

Good luck,
Kay

Chicken and egg, you know...

Switching from kernel 2.4 to 2.6 requires recent glibc. Recent glibc
requires 2.6 kernel. 2.6 kernel requires udev. Sure, I could download
some binary stuff from a distro, and try if it works, but old udev is
outdated, new 2.6 requires new udev, but new udev binary runs on new
glibc only. Problems everywhere. :-)

You can run 2.6 without udev just fine, if you don't need to do fancy
stuff. Especially coming from 2.4, there should be no problem to run a
2.6 kernel with a static /dev and add udev later ...
