Bug 114137 – sys-apps/udev-073 doesn't build with linux-headers-2.4.*

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ian Abbott 2005-12-01 04:54:43 UTC]

I use a 2.4 profile on my development machine as I use both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
 Therefore I have linux-headers-2.4.* installed, not linux-headers-2.6.*.

sys-apps/udev-073 doesn't build with linux-headers-2.4.* installed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a 2.4 profile, e.g. /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/no-nptl/2.4
2. emerge linux-headers
3. emerge =sys-fs/udev-073

Actual Results:

Other information:

1. udev-076 (not yet in portage) builds okay.
2. I have a simple patch that includes <linux/types.h> before <linux/netlink.h>
in udevd.c and udevmonitor.c.  It seems to do the trick!

Allows udev-073 to build with linux-headers-2.4.*

Is fixed in the next udev release, just need to get it into the tree...
