Bug 417245 – app-emulation/kqemu-1.4.0_pre1-r1 fails to build for 3.4 kernel

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ian Abbott 2012-05-23 10:11:51 UTC]

The configure script and Makefile check for a 2.4 kernel by checking for "PATCHLEVEL = 4" in the kernel's Makefile, assuming the VERSION is 2. These checks fail for the 3.4 kernel leading to a build failure.

Reproducible: Always

Support 3.4 kernel

This patch changes the configure script and Makefile to check the kernel's Makefile for VERSION = 2 and PATCHLEVEL = 4 to detect a 2.4 kernel rather than relying on PATCHLEVEL = 4 alone.

This allows kqemu-1.4.0_pre1 to be built for 3.4.x kernels.

Support 3.4 kernel - CORRECTED

This is a corrected version of the previous patch.  The previous patch worked but one of the grep commands in the configure script was wrong.  This version of the patch fixes it.

From original version of patch:

This patch changes the configure script and Makefile to check the kernel's Makefile for VERSION = 2 and PATCHLEVEL = 4 to detect a 2.4 kernel rather than relying on PATCHLEVEL = 4 alone.

This allows kqemu-1.4.0_pre1 to be built for 3.4.x kernels.

Nice patch, fixed problem for me.  If ebuild is reworked, needs to be made compatible with epatch_user to ease future user patching like this.

kqemu is masked for removal so this will not be fixed.
