it's due to 2.6.16-rc*

i already told you spock :)

if i get modular X working (i have a bug open) i will go down to 2.6.15-r5 and
try again if spock wants

this is happening for me also... if i down grade to 2.6.15 splashutils will
compile..

This looks very similar to some of the errors posted in bug #124832. Please
check out my workaround idea suggested there and let me know if it works for
you.

*** Bug 127011 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

(In reply to comment #3)

Yeah, that's a different issue, see Comment #4. This bug is about 2.6.16 issues
only.

Created an attachment (id=82718) [details]
splashutils-1.1.9.10-linux-2.6.16.diff

The following patch seems to fix it... Although I almost sure the kernel
headers are bad...

Right. This patch might fix the symptoms in this particular case, but the real
source of the problem is in the kernel headers, and we'll simply have to wait
for them to get fixed. 

Michal, can you detail the exact problem in the kernel headers so that I can
fix gentoo-sources?

I think the problem is in the new include which defines kernel_ulong_t and is
conditioned to an #ifdef __KERNEL__. Here's the relevant diff for
include/linux/input.h between 2.6.16 and 2.6.15

Sent a patch upstream

Patch added to -mm.

http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/trunk/2.6.16/2600_input-h-bits-per-long.patch

It would be useful if someone could apply it and confirm it fixes the whole
problem.

Attached patch works for me
cheers

Doesn't work for me. I get this error (same with 1.1.9.10-r1)

In file included from daemon.c:27:
/var/tmp/portage/splashutils-1.1.9.8-r1/work/splashutils-1.1.9.8/linux/include/linux/input.h:801:
error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'kernel_ulong_t'
make: *** [daemon.o] Error 1

It seems to me that the problem is the definition of kernel_ulong_t in
linux/mod_devicetable.h, which is not included when building splashutils. Or am
I missing something?

Hello,
It does not solve the problem...
There are still missing stuff.

Notice that in the asm/types.h the BITS_PER_LONG is #ifdef __KERNEL__

*** Bug 128157 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Not really a solution but I found out that, removing input.h from the
linux/include/linux directory solved my problem.

I know this *can't* be the solution but it is acceptable as a workaround giving
you add splashutils to your mask file after successfully compiled it.

Few other people seemed to do it too
(http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-437797.html). Once again, this is not an
acceptable solution.

Daniel, I've grepped the whole kernel tree for input_device_id and it looks
like it's not used anywhere outside of kernel space. If I'm not mistaken about
this, the easy solution might be to move '#ifdef __KERNEL__' before the
definition of this struct. What do you think?

A potential fix for the input.h problem.

Here's a patch that does what I've talked about.

I can confirm that this patch enables successful emerging of splashutils.

Works for me too.

However, the patch needs to be reversed if you need to recompile the kernel.

incomplete patch

Dmitry is talking about moving input_device_id into mod_devicetable.h. Here is
the start of a patch to do this. I'm not sure how he wants to handle those _MAX
constants.

changine to 2.6.17-rc1 I still get the errors:

Dmitry's fix

Here's Dmitry's attack on the situation

Fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r2 (genpatches-2.6.16-4)

(In reply to comment #25)
> changine to 2.6.17-rc1 I still get the errors:
I've got 2.6.16.11 (updating to 2.6.16.14 when gnome-2.14.0 is done). And I
keep getting the same errors. Updating klibc didn't fix a thing either.

If the input.h patch is supposed to work, why not just make a new ebuild?
Because after looking in the ebuild and seeing the patches I got a bit held
back with doing everything manually.

I mean, it is nice and all for everybody who uses gentoo-sources. But I like
doing vanilla.

Sorry, we don't patch vanilla, and patching splashutils is not the correct
solution.

Why don't you switch to gentoo-sources? It's near identical to vanilla anyway.

As John day on comment 23, to patch only input.h does at a kernel compilation
will fail. I have not try Dmitry's fix at that time.
