[ovs-discuss] compiling fails on 2.6.37.3?

[Justin Pettit]

The error messages are always helpful; these distributions sometimes make modifications from the mainline version.  Are you using the latest OVS from git or the 1.1.0pre2 tarball?

Last week I saw the slackbuild for openvswitch show up on slackbuilds.org and I thought I would give it a try.  At the time my kernel was 2.6.35.11.  Today I patched to the most recent slackware-current, which includes (among other things) a bump of the kernel revision from 2.6.35.11 to 2.6.37.3.  I went to rebuild the package (as the kernel modules won't work from the older kernel) and it failed compiling, with a bunch of errors while working with datapath.c.
