Description Andrey Melentyev 2003-09-13 08:40:26 UTC

When I try to emerge bcm4400 with my gcc-3.3.1 compiler, I get the following:
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DDBG=0 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6

!!! (no error message)

IMHO the reason of the fault is gcc-3.3.1, because gcc-2.95.3 compiles bcm4400
perfect. But it is not a solution, coz my kernel is compiled with gcc-3.3.1 and
bcm4400 module compiled with gcc-2.95.3 won`t work on my system.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. update your gcc to 3.3.1 version
2. change system default compiler to gcc-3.3.1
3. emerge bcm4400

Actual Results:  
bcm4400 failed to compile.

Expected Results:  
bcm4400 must compile :)

Created attachment 17753 [details, diff]
patch to fix.

This was caused by a completely unnecessary #define in a header, probably to
compensate for an obsolete gcc version.

Comment 2 Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev

Resolving as FIXED.  The patch has been added to the bcm4400-1.0.1 ebuild
in portage.
