Same problem here. The problem is that ./lib/howl/Posix/posix_interface.c includes /usr/include/linux/ethtool.h where we have struct with types __u8, __u16, __u32, __u64 but they are not typedefed in /lib/howl/Posix/posix_interface.c. And they should not. I think it's better to include linux/types.h. This is done in howl-0.9.8-types.patch! So I think the best way to fix this is to cp howl-0.9.8-types.patch into howl-0.9.6-types.patch and add necessary line in ebuild. Peter.
howl-0.9.8 should me marked stable when any serious bugs open about it are fixexd. That will fix this also..
I think the problem more rightly lies in the latest linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r2 ebuild. I noticed that on one computer that I compiled linux-headers a while ago, the structs were defined in ethtool.h without the preceeding __, for example u32 instead of __u32, and that this was the only difference between the files. It seems that at somepoint somebody must have updated a patch that went into the 2.6.8.1-r2 ebuild, because both machines have the same version of linux-headers. When I copied ethtool.h from one machine to the other, howl compiled fine. So is this a linux-headers problem or a howl problem?
[quote]So I think the best way to fix this is to cp howl-0.9.8-types.patch into howl-0.9.6-types.patch and add necessary line in ebuild.[/quote] This doesn't work, i get: Failed Patch: howl-0.9.6-types.patch ! ( /usr/portage/net-misc/howl/files/howl-9.6.0-types.patch ) I guess its because some lines in the patch are directly pointing to some howl-0.9.8 directory, or something like that (unfortunately i don't really understand the syntax). Would it be adequate to just change that "howl-0.9.8" to "howl-0.9.6-r2"?
Created attachment 55572 [details] diff output between ethtool.h for linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r2 diff between ethtool.h from January and ethtool.h from April for linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r2.
The problem will be fixed by using howl 0.9.8, however this still seems to me like a patch for linux headers would be a better fix. What other ebuilds use the ethtool.h header? Do they encounter the same error? My confusion comes from the fact that there is no patch in portage for linux-headers that effects ethtool.h, so how is it that two installs of the same version can have two different files. The one I compiled somtime at the end of January, the other I compiled on monday, and the ethtool.h files are different. How does this happen without a patch or a new version? I've attached the output of diff between the files.
Created attachment 56198 [details, diff] fixes missed typedef-s // Just a line in <linux/ethtool.h> #include <linux/types.h>
What is the proper way of informing the maintainers of linux-header about this?

This purpose of this comment is to add the linux-headers devs so they can take a look at this.
*** Bug 90229 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Headers fixed in CVS, please emerge sync and remerge linux-headers. Thanks; please reopen bug if issue persists.
Maybe I'm missing something, but if a new patch was added then why wasn't a new ebuild created with a -r3 version, so people know that there's an update available? I did a sync but no new version of linux-headers showed up (I had already installed the -r2 version). If there had been a new version I could have installed that and not had to come read all the bug reports to find the answer. Thanks for fixing this, though!
