Does it work with gcc-3.4 or the 2.6.9 kernel? Thank you for your bug-report.
Can you please try CTRL+Z after unpacking+patching and editing cloop-2.01.new/advancecomp-1.9_create_compressed_fs/advfs.cc at line 33 by removing "#define __OPTIMIZE__" ?
I've tried doing the Ctrl-Z and removing the #define __OPTIMIZE__, but get exactly the same error/behaviour. I don't have a system that's running gcc 3.4 (waiting until it's marked stable ;-) Would it be worth upgrading the kernel and trying it with the latest 2.6.9? I wouldn't think that would change the glibc headers, tho?
oh, maybe you use 2.4 headers?
Yes, I'm using 2.4 headers. Last time I read up on this, running 2.6 headers was still supposedly "experimental"? (Even though running a 2.6 kernal was not?) So if I were using 2.6 headers this would probably work? Is there any guide to tell me when I should be using 2.6 headers and when 2.4 headers?
please try it with 2.6 headers (emerge -va linux26-headers) if it works then I will add a dep for linux26-headers.
It could be a kernel-headers issue becuase glibc needs the kernel headers for building, so it would be nice if you could rebuild your glibc after upgrading the kernel headers so that we can really see if it helped.
This process worked: emerge unmerge linux-headers emerge linux26-headers emerge sys-fs/cloop emerge unmerge linux26-headers emerge linux-headers That is, it compiled without any problem. modprobe and rmmod also worked fine, but I have yet to test with an actual cloop image. I did *NOT* (as implied by the linux-headers ebuild) need to rebuild glibc for this to work. So, I think this is fixed if one uses linux26-headers. Thanks!
Addendum to the "solved". I've now sucessfully mounted a cloop image using the compiled module. So, as long as linux26-headers are present when compiling, everything seems to work flawlessly (even if they are unmerged after compiling, and even if glibc is *NOT* recompiled). Thanks! This is completely solved now!
How can you consider this as solved, when another person who has kernel-2.6 and headers-2.4 also will run into this problem? I need to find some way to exclude this bad kernel/header combination to really fix this.
Oh, sorry, I thought you were going to require linux26-headers as a dep? That should show up as a required dep, and then linux-headers should show up as blocking on a 2.4 headers system. Unless you want to support 2.4 headers, in which case we need to find out what exactly is not compiling, and if that is fixable...
The ebuild should have kernel 2.4 compatibility, and on 2.4 kernels you have no 2.6-headers, so I will have to support it or make the ebuild kernel 2.6 only :( I think 2.4 kernel would work with 2.4 headers. Problem is that I cant add a dep only for kernel-2.6 :(
We still want to provide cloop for 2.4 users and this bug highlighted that it will not build against 2.4 headers (regardless of kernel version). A fix is now in place which will take effect for 2.4 (kernel) users. This does however assume that you aren't mixing 2.4 headers with a 2.6 system.
