asterisk users - Apr 2007 - make Zaptel 1.2.16 'struct inode' has no member named 'u'.

On attempting to make Zaptel 1.2.16 on FC5, I get the following messages:

/usr/src/zaptel-1.2.16/xpp/xbus-core.c: In function 'debugfs_open':
/usr/src/zaptel-1.2.16/xpp/xbus-core.c:171: error: 'struct inode' has no
member named 'u'
make[3]: *** [/usr/src/zaptel-1.2.16/xpp/xbus-core.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [/usr/src/zaptel-1.2.16/xpp] Error 2
make[1]: *** [_module_/usr/src/zaptel-1.2.16] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2257.fc5-smp-i686'
make: *** [all] Error 2

An internet search has turned this message up but other than indicating that the
inode structure has changed I'm no further ahead. I have found nothing
specific for Asterisk.

Any advice appreciated.

Cameron

Zaptel has no direct code relationship with Asterisk. Your error is
because zaptel is trying to use a member no longer exists in newer
kernels. However you are using fedora, and fedora included that change
in older kernel. I found this in xpp/xbus-core.c

/*
 * As part of the "inode diet" the private data member of struct inode
 * has changed in 2.6.19. However, Fedore Core 6 adopted this change
 * a bit earlier (2.6.18). If you use such a kernel, Change the
 * following test from 2,6,19 to 2,6,18.
 */
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,19)
#define I_PRIVATE(inode)    ((inode)->u.generic_ip)
#else
#define I_PRIVATE(inode)    ((inode)->i_private)
#endif

So go ahead and change the source as the comment says.

The following resolved this issue:
vi xpp/xbus-core.c
Change code as follows:
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,18)

make clean && make
