Bug 49866 – cdparanoia, xine-lib, and net-tools cannot compile due to syntax error in /usr/include/scsi/scsi.h

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Heitzso 2004-05-03 10:38:52 UTC]

Tail end of 'emerge -u cdparanoia' follows:
=================================
gcc -O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -I/var/tmp/portage/cdparanoia-3.9.8-r1/work/cdparanoia-III-alpha9.8/interface -c scan_devices.c

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -u cdparanoia
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
get the error message noted above

Expected Results:  
compile clean

first want to note that I just successfully
'emerge -u blat' about 15 components.  So my
basic system isn't completely broken.  I'm
having trouble 'emerge -u blat' where blat
is cdparanoia, xine-lib and net-tools.

=========================================

It appears that the define for 'u8' is not
being picked up.

=========================================

I'm running 2.6.3 because that's what my
old vmware will last compile its modules on.
I've tried to 'emerge -u' cdparanoia and the
other noted ebuilds while running 2.6.5 w/o 
any more success.  I do specific emerge against 
the appropriate kernel headers ebuild to match
the version I'm running to no avail.

[Comment 1 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2004-05-05 00:21:57 UTC]

/usr/include/scsi/scsi.h is part of glibc, so I'm reassigning this bug...

[Comment 2 solar (RETIRED) 2004-06-18 11:20:52 UTC]

This is not a toolchain bug.

[Comment 3 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2004-07-07 02:57:50 UTC]

Well, it's not a sound bug as it's with cdparanoia, xine-lib and net-tools... 

[Comment 4 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-07-07 21:02:36 UTC]

Probably each of those packages will need to be patched like in #35088

[Comment 5 Janvie 2004-07-17 14:50:53 UTC]

Have you unmerged linux-headers?

Re-emergeing them fixed it for me.

[Comment 6 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) 2004-08-23 20:35:33 UTC]

Ehm.  Is this bug still valid?

[Comment 7 Nicolai Langfeldt 2004-08-26 00:34:00 UTC]

My problems with xine-lib on ppc have magicaly disapeared.  Upgrade to 2.6 and gcc 3.3 since I got onto this bug.
