> hello,

>
> the file .../fs/ntfs/inode.c failed at lines 421 and 423 because
> NTFS_GETS16 and NTFS_GETS32 were not correctly defined.

> to fix the problem I modified ntfsendi.h at line 75 and 77

> here's the file from line 72 on:
> /* Macros reading signed integers */
> #define NTFS_GETS8(p) ((*(ntfs_u8*)(p)))
> #define NTFS_GETS16(p) ((s16)LE16_TO_CPU(*(short*)(p)))
> #define NTFS_GETS24(p) (NTFS_GETU24(p) < 0x800000 ?
> (int)NTFS_GETU24(p) : (int)(NTFS_GETU24(p) - 0x1000000))
> #define NTFS_GETS32(p) ((s32)LE32_TO_CPU(*(int*)(p)))
> #define NTFS_GETS40(p) (((ntfs_s64)NTFS_GETS32(p)) |
> (((ntfs_s64)NTFS_GETS8(((char*)(p))+4)) << 32))
> #define NTFS_GETS48(p) (((ntfs_s64)NTFS_GETS32(p)) |
> (((ntfs_s64)NTFS_GETS16(((char*)(p))+4)) << 32))
> #define NTFS_GETS56(p) (((ntfs_s64)NTFS_GETS32(p)) |
> (((ntfs_s64)NTFS_GETS24(((char*)(p))+4)) << 32))
