Bug 31419 – e2fsprogs-1.33 failes to compile against 2.6 kernel headers

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Gnodde 2003-10-18 09:16:13 UTC]

Due to a missing #define SCSI_DISK_MAJOR in /usr/include/linux/major.h, e2fsprogs-1.33 will not compile. The attached version of this ebuild includes a patch for this problem (and will not cause problems when using 2.4 headers).

[Comment 2 David Nielsen 2003-10-19 08:54:47 UTC]

version 1.34 also displays this problem, but the patch applies to this one
as well so no problem.

Can you attach just the patch please?

how about 1.34 ?

http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-hackers/2003-October/000028.html seems to have a prettier patch for 1.34 (please read the whole thread).

The somewhat dynamic numbering doesn't really fit in that #ifndef scheme. And the #define is only used for a warning message while trying to make ext2fs on a whole disk instead of a single partition.

Fixed in CVS, thanks.
