Description Christoph Dwertmann 2006-01-18 15:17:43 UTC

I'm using gcc version 4.0.2 (Gentoo 4.0.2-r3, pie-8.7.8) on amd64. Building ebtables fails with:

extensions/ebt_ip.c: In function &#8216;parse&#8217;:
extensions/ebt_ip.c:316: error: invalid lvalue in assignment
make: *** [extensions/ebt_ip.o] Error 1

Jakub, 
Where did you find this patch? Has it been submitted upstream? Did it come from upstream?

Well, first hit in 'ebtables gcc4 patch' Google search - so, no idea whether it's been submitted upstream, but it works... :-)

Comment 4 Christoph Dwertmann 2006-01-19 10:57:24 UTC

Would the Gentoo people kindly upload this patch so I can emerge a working version?

Not yet. Need to find the source of the patch and contact upstream about it.

Well, it comes from T2 project - see http://www.t2-project.org/packages/ebtables.html; Christian Wiese <jeru@ixplanet.org> is listed as maintainer of ebtables there.

Thanks jakub

ebtables-2.0.6-r1.ebuild ~x86 ~ppc ~amd64 commited to the tree. 
I don't really develop for gcc-4.x so I'm counting on you guys to decide 
if and when -r1 should go stable. For it to be marked stable it must continue to work for linux-2.4.x, linux-2.6.x, gcc-3.x and gcc-4.x
Previous stable markings were x86 only.
