Bug 109516 – sys-libs/libkudzu-1.1.62-r1 fails to compile

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Timo Gurr (RETIRED) 2005-10-16 16:27:41 UTC]

I wanted to emerge the livecd-tools but libkudzu fails to build so I consider
this as a blocker.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge libkudzu
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
# emerge livecd-tools

Why in the world were you trying to install livecd-tools on a live system?  I
just really have to know, as they aren't useful on a normal system and will
actually cause breakages, thanks to some of the init script changes it imposes.

[Comment 2 Timo Gurr (RETIRED) 2005-10-17 09:21:18 UTC]

I was following the HOWTO
(http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_build_a_LiveCD_from_scratch) on gentoo-wiki.com
since I want to build a bootable LiveCD and got some really weird errors on
boot. Then I noticed that I have to install the livecd-tools to be able to use
the cdboot parameter. 
I'm aware that it will change my init scripts, thank you for the warning of course.

[Comment 3 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-10-17 10:27:56 UTC]

When was your snapshot made?

I've updated the ebuild since it was originally added to portage.

[Comment 4 Timo Gurr (RETIRED) 2005-10-20 07:13:09 UTC]

Emerge synced on the date I posted the initial bugreport here.

In the meantime I tried

kudzu-knoppix-1.1.36-r2
libkudzu-knoppix-1.1.36
kudzu-1.1.62

but all fail with "the same" error message.

[Comment 5 Bruno Lustosa 2005-10-28 09:19:43 UTC]

emerge sync and then emerge -Du world complains of kudzu-knoppix blocking
libkudzu, so I unmerged kudzu-knoppix to proceed with the upgrade.
however, libkudzu doesn't compile, giving exactly the same error message as above.
emerge -Dup world gives me this:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] sys-libs/libkudzu-1.1.62-r1

The question is, why do I need kudzu installed? I don't use it, and I wasn't
using kudzu-knoppix.

[Comment 6 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-10-28 10:16:03 UTC]

You installed something erroneously that requires it, such as hwsetup or
livecd-tools.  Try removing these, as you don't need them on a running system.

[Comment 7 f5d8fd51ed1e804c9e8d0357e8614e0493b06e96 2005-10-30 01:47:13 UTC]

I'd guess it was pulled in as a dependency of mkxf86config (which depends on
hwsetup).

And I'm not sure uf this is just a livecd tool - or a helpfull tool for the
average gentoo beginner to easily build a fully configured xorg.conf

[Comment 8 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-10-31 07:24:43 UTC]

Well, mkxf86config is pretty useless except on a LiveCD...

[Comment 9 Ced 2005-10-31 15:24:23 UTC]

As I am building a livecd, libkudzu is almost a must, i'd like to have
mkx86config and livecd-tools.
As mentioned before, I tried installing libkudzu-1.1.62-r1, libkudzu-1.1.62,
libkudzu-knoppix, basically everything with all the same result (as mentioned in
the original post)
The system has only a few more packages than the stage3 I used to create the
base, and I compiled the rest with the minimal flag (except for perl).
I cannot find what would cause this problem.

[Comment 10 Zac Medico 2005-11-03 11:19:53 UTC]

I had the same problem building libkudzu against pciutils-2.2.0-r1.  However, it
built fine against pciutils-2.1.11-r5.

[Comment 11 Ced 2005-11-03 11:30:42 UTC]

Thanks Zac, using pciutils-2.1.11-r5 made it all good.

[Comment 12 Sergey Nezhinsky 2005-11-10 06:29:20 UTC]

Solution: typedef unsigned char byte in pci.c or its includes.

[Comment 13 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-11-11 06:49:24 UTC]

Got a patch?

[Comment 14 guillermo 2005-11-11 10:17:24 UTC]

(In reply to comment #13)
> Got a patch?

I did what Sergey said and added it to my forum post:

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2870104.html#2870104

it worked,

thanks Sergey.

[Comment 15 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-11-16 07:35:29 UTC]

I've fixed this in portage.  Please emerge --sync and try again.

Thanks Sergey for finding the fix.
