SCO 5.0.6, Driver for Broadcom NIC (Dell-OnBoard)

[MikeB3]

Loaded Broadcom's v 10.0.3 for SCO OpenServer. Recognizes correct NIC (Dell-OnBoard) but bombs out during OS link.

.../bcme/bcme.h", line 60: Syntax error ...
.../bcme/space.c" will not compile properly ...
i386ld Driver.o fatal: can't open file ...
... /bcme/space.o for input.
Error: can not link-edit unix


Any suggestions?

Here is how I fixed it on an IBM x205.

edit the bcme.h file

change the alias types to their true types under the section of the file around line 60. Its a structure definition called
typedef struct bcmeparam {

for example

uint8_t pci_bus;

will become

usigned char pci_bus;

You'll have to change all 8 of them

I think The problem is that C header file is calling a sys/bitypes.h file that it can't find.
