Bug 78679 – ppp: can't compile the dhcp module in a uclibc env

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christian Zoffoli (RETIRED) 2005-01-19 06:55:13 UTC]

I can't compile the dhcp in a uclibc env because it uses sys_errlist instead of strerror, so I've done a little patch (I'll send it also upstream).

see bug #78591

Created attachment 48950 [details, diff]
sys_errlist converted to strerror

heh. neat watching this bug get bounced around from herd to herd. 
xmerlin this patch is so trivial that unless your c syntax is wrong you cant really mess this up. net-dialup is an overworked herd and I'm sure nobody minds.

[Comment 3 Christian Zoffoli (RETIRED) 2005-01-20 17:00:18 UTC]

ok fixed in CVS

[Comment 4 solar (RETIRED) 2005-01-20 23:14:51 UTC]

did you mail this upstream?

[Comment 5 Christian Zoffoli (RETIRED) 2005-01-21 00:07:49 UTC]

sure.

I've sent it to the author of this module (added in the ebuild 2.4.2)
