FIO Benchmark Tester: Error when building from source

Question

I encountered some errors when I was trying to build the FIO from source with the 'make' command. It seems I may be missing something. Does anyone what it is?

root@DSI:/home/main/fio-2.2.10# make
 CC lib/libmtd_legacy.o
In file included from lib/libmtd_legacy.c:38:0:

That version of fio (2.2.10) is old. Upstream fio is up to 2.21 (http://git.kernel.dk/?p=fio.git;a=tags ) at the time of writing so there's a chance you won't see this issue with a newer version...
