[i2c] I2C: Getting Compiation Error for application program

[Sachin Rane]

Hi Jean,
 
Sorry for incomplete problem description (without error log).
 
The error list was huge and I fell it is unappropiate to send it as an attachment on mailing list.
(I didn't want to load the Inbox of the mailing list member).
 
I am attaching the error log file for reference.
 
Thanks and Regards,
Sachin Rane

Hi Sachin,

Please don't post to 3 mailing lists at once. I've stripped the other
two.

This header file doesn't exist in userspace, so you don't want to
include it.

Are you certain the compiler picks the right file (from the lm_sensors
package and not from the kernel tree?) You should check the
preprocessor output (gcc -E) to make sure.

No, the 7-bit I2C address of your EEPROM is 0x50.

As a side note, we already have some tools to work with eeproms. Look
under prog/eepromer in the lm_sensors package. Maybe these are OK for
what you want to do and you don't even need to write your own.
