[gentoo-embedded] Adafruit 2.2", spidev and othe contradictionary parts of my nightmare...

[meino.cramer@gmx.de]

Hi,

(everything is done natively on the embedded system itsself)

I am currently trying to install (and later use)
this library on my Beaglebone Black (3.8.13-bone67
kernel by Robert Nelson):
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_ILI9340

Installing the prerequisits works fine. The 
needed "python-smbus" is part of i2c-tools when 
compiled with the "python" USE-flag.

Installing the library itsself fails.
And I fear, there are contradictionary
definition deeply inside the kernel/kernel-headers...

I installed linux-headers-3.8 with emerge in beforehand,
but the compilation faisl with:

In the beginning there are many hits in the system headers...

Is there are any way to get out of it? 
What's going wrong here?

Any idea/hint/solution is very appreciated!
Best regards,
