[Xen-users] compiling an old XEN version

[maheen butt <maheen_butt26@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,

I want to use Xenlinux and an old version of Xen hypervisor xen 3.2.0. 

For compilation I followed following instruction given by Jeremie Le Hen

% mkdir build
% wget http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/3.2.0/xen-3.2.0.tar.gz
% tar xzf xen-3.2.0.tar.gz
% # Download the xenifid kernel tree manually, but NOT in xen-3.2.0/
% # because the buildconfig/select-repository script would skip it.
% # ! xen-3.2.0/ and linux-2.6.18-xen.hg/ must be at the same level !
% hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
% cd xen-3.2.0
% make prep-kernels
% cp /boot/config-2.6.18-my build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_32/.config
% make dist

everything was going  good until I gave commang 'make dist' I encountered with following errorsIn file included from grant_table.c:1520:0:
