Bug 112462 – ati-drivers-8.19.10 fails to build DRM module (dereferencing pointer to incomplete type)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Maciej Paszta 2005-11-13 15:59:43 UTC]

New ati-drivers-8.19.10 fail to build DRM module. The error I get:

/var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.18.8-r1/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/firegl_public.c:2264:
error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
/var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.18.8-r1/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/firegl_public.c:2265:
error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type 

I checked everything and module seems to compile directly from the ati package,
after a few whiles of investigation the thing that caused the problem appeared
to be a patch:
fglrx-2.6.14-compat_ioctl.patch 

If I remove this patch ati-drivers emerge without problems.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge ati-drivers


Actual Results:  
I get the error while compiling kernel module

Expected Results:  
Kernel module should be build

I can confirm this on my machine.

[Comment 3 Andrew Fuller 2005-11-14 18:50:23 UTC]

Confirmed here.  Removing the patch allows the driver to build.

removing it then
