Bug 42416 – gs-sources 2.4.25_pre7 compile problem at mki

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin Janke 2004-02-21 14:10:02 UTC]

After suceesfully running 
make dep
make clean
make bzImage

make modules fails as follows:

mki24.c: In function `mkia_alloc_ldt':
mki24.c:533: error: structure has no member named `segments'
mki24.c:534: error: structure has no member named `segments'
make[1]: *** [mki.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r2/arch/i386/mki-adapter'
make: *** [_mod_arch/i386/mki-adapter] Error 2



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sys-kernel/gs-sources-2.4.25_pre7-r2
2. configure kernel (see attached config file) 
3. make dep
4. make clean
5. make bzImage modules

Actual Results:  
compile error: 
 
mki24.c: In function `mkia_alloc_ldt': 
mki24.c:533: error: structure has no member named `segments' 
mki24.c:534: error: structure has no member named `segments' 
make[1]: *** [mki.o] Error 1 
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r2/arch/i386/
mki-adapter' 
make: *** [_mod_arch/i386/mki-adapter] Error 2 

Expected Results:  
no compile error 

kernel config file will be attached.

I have the same problem

[Comment 3 Antonio 2004-02-27 06:42:51 UTC]

with this features the kernel do not compile !!!

[Comment 4 Bob Johnson (RETIRED) 2004-02-27 13:52:18 UTC]

known problem, working on fix for next version

[Comment 5 John Steele Scott 2004-03-13 17:58:57 UTC]

Bob, I can make it compile and load (i.e. win4lin runs) by doing this:

-#endif

I don't know much of the details of the memory mangement system. Will this be okay, or is it just asking for trouble?

Another point I noticed while working on this is that now /usr/include/asm/mmu.h is no longer in sync with /usr/src/linux/include/asm/mmu.h.

Just a follow-up . . . the kernel I built using the above method has panicked three times in the last week . . . :(

old bug, reopen if necessary
