i2c-algo-bit fails to compile on any recent gcc-4.1-beta (specifically 20060120) the following gives incomplete array element type, no longer accepted by gcc4 struct i2c_msg msg[]
deal with it, kernels in the future will fix themselves
I have dealt with it thanks. I thought the point of testing gcc-4.1 was to report bugs so I did. I also thought Halcyon was actively interesting in working this so I'll reopen it. You could leave it open long enough for anyone interested to see it , or not if that seems like more fun to you. I dont really give a shit.
Yea, I'm interested in getting it working, but as the ebuild tells you, supply patches with bug reports.
also, we dont really patch kernels, so your fixes would be sent upstream, not to us and as i said, upstream probably has their stuff covered
OK fair enough. I didn't realise that the Gentoo interest in gcc4.1 was limitted to non kernel packages. I dont consider myself competant to write kernel patches so I won't try. It look like a pretty simple one so it'll probably get fixed upstream at some stage. I'm working on gtk+ at the moment , I'm less likely to do damage in there ;)
Well since ,as Halcyon pointed out, I_PROMISE_TO_SUPPLY_PATCHES_WITH_BUGS=1 http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2005-02/5577.html Even if there's no official interest it may serve someone searching on this subject.
