Bug 10753 – gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r10 - fam is missing linux/imon.h

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Lars S. Jensen 2002-11-14 18:02:39 UTC]

missing  the /usr/include/linux/imon.h
to let app-admin/fam-oss-2.6.9 build imon support:
fam emerge 
...
checking linux/imon.h usability... no
checking linux/imon.h presence... no
checking for linux/imon.h... no
Using imon support module IMonNone
...
after cp /usr/src/linux/include/linux/imon.h /usr/include/linux/imon.h
emerge  app-admin/fam-oss
...
checking linux/imon.h usability... yes
checking linux/imon.h presence... yes
checking for linux/imon.h... yes
Using imon support module IMonLinux
...

missing the install of /usr/include/linux/imon.h in
gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r10.ebuild or shall it be included in linux-headers?

I will test the imon/fam performance:

Garnome build in my home dir (xfs):
without imon in fam --it used 50-75% of the CPU time (most system time). 
TBD with imon in fam.

hmm... I may have to make the next linux-headers versoin be in sync with
gentoo-sources for better compatibility.

please correct me if i'm wrong
why don't we just symb link /usr/include/linux/ 
to /usr/src/linux/include/linux/ ?

because technically any time you change your linux headers you need to rebuild 
glibc for consistancy as well.  We therefore ship one linux headers per 
profile.  As I said I'll make a gentoo-sources based linux-headers package when 
2.4.20-r1 is ready, at the time of this release, it will be recommended that 
glibc be remerged.
