• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Stieglecker 2003-03-26 08:47:09 UTC]

When I try to emerge app-admin/watchdog I get the following linking error:

gcc  -mcpu=pentium3 -O3 -pipe  -o watchdog  file_stat.o file_table.o fstab.o 
iface.o ifdown.o keep_alive.o load.o l

sundries.o temp.o test_binary.o umount.o version.o watchdog.o
quotactl.o(.text+0x28): In function `quotactl':

make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

!!! ERROR: app-admin/watchdog-5.2 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 24, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge watchdog




Fresh Gentoo Installation from stage1-x86-1.4_rc3,
we are using the _unstable_ branch though

a few details from /etc/make.conf:

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-mcpu=pentium3 -O3 -pipe"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

/proc/cpuinfo:
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15
model           : 2
model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
[...]

gcc version 3.2.2

Created attachment 9832 [details]
ebuild that patches watchdog to compile correctly

This ebuild first patches the source file quotactl.c before compiling.

[Comment 2 Peter Stieglecker 2003-03-26 09:35:05 UTC]

Created attachment 9833 [details, diff]
patch for quotactl.c

errno.h needs to be included always
