attach the full output.. guess gnophone doesn't deal with alsa well...

The error in question, I believe, has to do with the __user *ce in the ixjuser.h file (from the kernel-headers, mine are kernel26-headers) below, which is the line in question. I don't think __user is defined anywhere. I'm guessing gnophone wants a 2.4 version of the header? Trying to emerge an earlier version of gnophone doesn't help. typedef struct { int index; int tone_on_time; int tone_off_time; int freq0; int gain0; int freq1; int gain1; } IXJ_CADENCE_ELEMENT; typedef enum { PLAY_ONCE, REPEAT_LAST_ELEMENT, REPEAT_ALL } IXJ_CADENCE_TERM; typedef struct { int elements_used; IXJ_CADENCE_TERM termination; IXJ_CADENCE_ELEMENT __user *ce; } IXJ_CADENCE;
Unable to locate the __user typedef under 2.6 kernel. But I found posters indicating that just add the following to the afflicted source file (in this case, it was modules/audio-phone.c #ifndef __user #define __user #endif With the /var/tmp/portage/gnophone-0.2.4-r1/work/gnophone-0.2.4 in place (from the failed "emerge gnophone", I did the following to make this work. linux # cd /var/tmp/portage/gnophone-0.2.4-r1/work/gnophone-0.2.4 linux # vi src/modules/audio-phone.c (add the #ifndef statements above at the beginning of the source code) linux # vi src/Makefile (locate CFLAGS definition, around line 107) (add "-I/usr/src/linux" and making this -I/usr/src/linux the first "-I") linux # make install Once done.... it builds and works. I don't think I could have made this gnophone make work by excluding certain include files to prevent the "giant sucking sound" of linux kernel header files.
this bug hits amd64 machines as well
I had similar problem fixed by suggestion from http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0503.0/2569.html add #include <linux/compiler.h> to /usr/include/linux/ixjuser.h
Ok comment 5 seem to solved the problem but what is the big picture to solve it?
*** Bug 81042 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
from the looks of things, this package was last updated in 2002, should be package masked and removed. however, metadata says this is part of net-im, reassigning.
fixed *finally*. Sorry for the delay. Thanks for the patches.
