[beagleboard] Re: General setup of compiler and pathes

I just want to toggle some GPIOs on the board. For that purpose I did

#include <stdio.h>
#define u8 unsigned char
#define u16 unsigned short
#define u32 unsigned int

//#include <asm/arch/gpio.h>
#include "/opt/src/2.6_kernel/include/asm/arch/gpio.h"

//#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h> //sleep

main()
{
  int file;
  int gpio_port = 4; // probably dynamically determined
  int is_input = 0xf0; // define 4 pins as output
  char* label = "Test";
  sleep(1);

  gpio_request(gpio_port,label);
  __gpio_set_direction(gpio_port, is_input);

  gpio_set_value(gpio_port, 0xf0);
  sleep (1);
  gpio_set_value(gpio_port, 0x00);
  sleep(1);
  gpio_set_value(gpio_port, 0xf0);
}

I use the Codesourcery as compiler (gcca is a link to that) and did
gcca -I /opt/src/2.6_kernel/include test.c

   /home/star/tmp/ccMofySY.o: In function `gpio_request':
test2.c:(.text+0xb4): undefined reference to `omap_request_gpio'
/home/star/tmp/ccMofySY.o: In function `__gpio_set_direction':
test2.c:(.text+0x100): undefined reference to `omap_set_gpio_direction'
/home/star/tmp/ccMofySY.o: In function `gpio_set_value':
test2.c:(.text+0x13c): undefined reference to `omap_set_gpio_dataout'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
  
This functions (omap_request... ) are available in
/opt/src/2.6_kernel/arch/arm/plat-omap/gpio.c which was (I guess during comiling the kernel to gpio.o)

But how to get this together?
Second question? Which header file defines u8, u16, u32 ... ?
Best regards
