Bug 34377 – iproute -r4 fail to compile with 2.4.22 headers

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Guy Martin (RETIRED) 2003-11-25 17:01:58 UTC]

There is many bugs about iproute not compiling with 2.4.22 kernels but it's the same for 2.4.22 kernel-headers.

I've been able to compile it using some sed and other magics on the source.

I'll add the diff just after. Btw I'm not sure my changes are 100% corrects and I'm sure it needs some review/testing by more experimented C coders than me :)

I'd really like to see this diff in portage because I need 2.4.22 headers on hppa for the new toolchain and glibc.

Created attachment 21295 [details, diff]
iproute diff for 2.4.22 headers against iproute -r4

This diff is quite huge but it contains many little change like __u32 ->
uint32_t to avoid some problems in #included files.

Vanilla iproute compiles well for me with 2.4.23 kernel headers (on hppa).

I get the following messages (with kernel headers 2.4.22):

Is there a workaround ?

[Comment 4 Russell Cloran 2004-02-15 11:54:42 UTC]

I have managed to install sys-apps/iproute-20010824-r4 with sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.1 (after coming across the same problem as you when I had sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.x)

Is this an IPv6 issue?

Are my comments pointless?
