    Is this a kernel module your trying to compile? If so, do you have either
    the kernel headers or full source tree installed for your matching kernel
    version? If it's really crying over an "sprintf" function, then it's
    either a library issue (linking problem against the headers) or some very
    poor programming.

    If you can print, or write files back to your XP drives (i.e. a mountable
    FAT32 drive), then run the make command with

    make > /tmp/make.txt
    cp /tmp/make.txt /windows_mount_point/where/you/want/it

    Then post that error message...

    Cheers

    Tim
