Description Marc Bevand 2004-09-28 15:56:34 UTC
The configure script of xfsprogs 2.6.13 is broken (although this is not fatal), example:

  $ ./configure      # (or emerge xfsprogs)
  [...]
  checking for sys/types.h... no
  [...]
  checking size of long... 0
  [...]

Many header files are not detected, size of C types are reported as being 0, etc. Surprisingly these errors are not fatal.

To my knowledge, this problem appeared somewhere between 2.3.9 and 2.6.0. And the fix is simple: just add AC_PROG_CC in configure.in (see the patch I have posted in the next message) and regenerate the configure script (with "autoreconf -i" for example).

This problem should be fixed upstream.


Reproducible: Always

Patch to fix configure.in.
Then you need to regenerate the configure script via "autoreconf -i" for
example.

i assume this applies to 2.6.13 too ?
Comment 3 Marc Bevand 2004-09-30 01:35:02 UTC
Yes this applies to 2.6.13. Maybe I was not clear enough: versions <=2.3.9 are ok, versions >=2.6.0 are broken.

when you say 'This problem should be fixed upstream.' you mean it is already fixed or i should e-mail upstream about it ?
