Systrace 1.6f Compliation error

Question

I am trying to compile Systrace-1.6f on Ubuntu 12.04 32bit edition. I found below error.

root@sharma-VM:/home/sharma/Desktop/systrace-1.6f# make
make  all-recursive

Please kindly suggest me a solution for the above error.

This question about particular program is too specific to be asked on SO. However I came across the same problem and that is how I found it.

grep is your helper! You can grep -rsli linux_off_t to find out that it is in linux_types.h. Another question why it doesn't work, but if you just want to go further, insert the following lines

#undef _LINUX_TYPES_H
#include "linux_types.h"

somewhere in the beginning of linux_fcntl.h.

Then you'll come across yet another issue. Replace all references to cs with xcs. It took me a while since I used assembler last time. So I don't know if that is how this register is called these days but that is what I see for struct user_regs_struct in /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/sys/user.h.

Even with all that it still does not pass the second regression test.

systrace has not been updated for quite a while and perhaps is not quite compatible with 3.x kernels as is. I am not a kernel expert though.
