When trying to compile mac-fdisk on x86, I get errors in fdisklabel.c: gcc -c -o fdisklabel.o fdisklabel.c fdisklabel.c: In function `bselect': fdisklabel.c:118: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ... and numerous other for the same reason. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -b --update mac-fdisk 2. 3. Actual Results: Compilation error. Expected Results: It should compile instead :-) This patch fixes the problem: diff -urNbB mac-fdisk-0.1.orig/fdisklabel.c mac-fdisk-0.1.new/fdisklabel.c --- mac-fdisk-0.1.orig/fdisklabel.c 2004-01-12 13:20:54.083814816 +0100 +++ mac-fdisk-0.1.new/fdisklabel.c 2004-01-12 13:21:06.880869368 +0100 @@ -46,6 +46,11 @@ #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <sys/param.h> +#include <linux/types.h> + +typedef unsigned short kdev_t; /* BAD hack; kdev_t is not exported */ + +#include <linux/genhd.h> #include <linux/hdreg.h> #include <linux/fs.h>
I'm not sure, if there would be any use of mac-fdisk on non ppc-archs... Instead you have other tools like fdisk, cfdisk, parted...
I think you're wrong. I have Macs and PCs and I really need to be able to share discs between them, including MacOS disks, and I need to be able to use and edit them on PC. So, I really need mac-fdisk working on i86. I can see _no_ reason not to fix that stupid bug...
