Description Ole Craig 2005-09-07 13:22:09 UTC

fooling around with 2.6.13, I decided to add in vesafb support, and went with
the modular vesafb-tng option. It fails during compile looking for an undeclared
structure, which to me looks like a typo (well, thinko really.)

It's a simple patch, which I'll attach momentarily. 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-gentoo
2. make oldconfig
3. make bzImage modules

Actual Results:  
  CC [M]  drivers/video/vesafb-tng.o
drivers/video/vesafb-tng.c: In function `vesafb_exit':
drivers/video/vesafb-tng.c:1180: error: `info' undeclared (first use in this
function)
drivers/video/vesafb-tng.c:1180: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported
only once
drivers/video/vesafb-tng.c:1180: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[2]: *** [drivers/video/vesafb-tng.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [drivers/video] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2


Expected Results:  
[...]
  CC [M]  drivers/video/vesafb-tng.o
  CC [M]  sound/isa/gus/interwave.o

Comment 1 Ole Craig 2005-09-07 13:23:55 UTC

Created attachment 67860 [details, diff]
1-line patch against gentoo-sources-2.6.13

Comment 2 L.Stohlmann 2005-10-09 08:02:35 UTC

Pretty easy fix of a simple "typo" (or renaming of a structure, as I suspect)
indeed. Did the same manually and it solves the problem.

Just wondering how sth like this could slip through...

The problem should be fixed in the latest gentoo-sources (2.6.14).
