Subject: Re: [Yaffs] Problems compiling YAFFS direct interface.
I compile with yaffs direct all the time. This is how I do all the YAFFS file
systel "guts" development, using Linux.

the directtest builds for me fine (with a few warnings) but the bootloader
does not (missing nand_ecc.c). I shall fix that by moving it to yaffs_ecc.c

The direct test in CVS should build fine. Please fetch from CVS again into a
clean directory.

These messages don't seem to be consistent with the source.
