Description Gene Meltser 2005-11-21 05:54:40 UTC

My Kernel:2.6.11-gentoo-r9
Tried to emerge ipw2200, after doing an emerge sync. during compilation of
ieee80211-1.1.6 ebuild fails to compile:


# emerge -av ipw2200

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge ipw2200
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Ebuild compilation failed

Expected Results:  
Ebuild should have compiled.

Comment 1 .:deadhead:. 2005-11-24 02:44:59 UTC

I want to continue to use the ipw2100 modules, not the driver inside the kernel.
My kernel-2.6.14-r2 is build perfectly, but ieee80211 give me troubles.

 Old ieee80211 references found.  In order to build the ieee80211
 subsystem, prior versions must first be removed.  You can perform
 this task by running this makefile as root via:

        % sudo make check_old

 and answering Y to remove the file references.

 Aborting make.

Comment 2 Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-11-24 06:31:33 UTC

Fixed in CVS, thank you for reporting this.

Wait a few hours, `emerge --sync` and retry.

Comment 3 Gene Meltser 2005-12-01 06:12:50 UTC

I still cannot compile ieee80211-1.1.6... Same error presists as above, even
after re-emerging to the new CVS build.

Comment 5 Shiva Persaud 2005-12-09 11:14:39 UTC

I gave up on trying to get this to work with a 2.6.9 kernel (and I think the
ebuild may have been updated to disallow this anyway). I get it to work find on
a 2.6.14-r4 kernel. Of course, I now run into other problems with
wpa_supplicant. I'm opening a new bug for that.

Thanks,
Shiva

Comment 6 Gene Meltser 2005-12-10 08:37:05 UTC

FYI, I'm unable to build it on 2.6.11-r9, not 2.6.9.

Comment 7 Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-12-20 07:12:26 UTC

This is a known problem. I'm waiting for upstream to release ieee80211-1.1.7 which fixes this issue.

It's currently available from my overlay at http://dev.gentoo.org/~brix/files/overlay/

Same prob here, but with that brix's ebuild it seems to work fine.

Thank you.

Comment 10 Henrik Brix Andersen 2006-01-06 04:26:43 UTC

Fixed in net-wireless/ieee80211-1.1.7.

Comment 11 Gene Meltser 2006-01-09 07:22:10 UTC

Comment 12 Henrik Brix Andersen 2006-01-11 04:32:26 UTC

I've just applied a patch from upstream to net-wireless/ieee80211-1.1.8 and successfully compile tested it against vanilla-sources-2.6.10.

Please wait a couple of hours, `emerge --sync` and retry. If the problem persists, please reopen this bug report.

Comment 13 Gene Meltser 2006-01-11 06:33:49 UTC

The patch worked, and the package compiled flawlessly.
Thanks for your hard work, Henrik!
