Description Ryan Wehler 2002-04-02 09:30:07 UTC

apmsleep.c: At top level:
apmsleep.c:64: warning: `rcsid' defined but not used
make: *** [apmsleep.o] Error 1
rm apm.o apmd.o

!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 2, Exitcode 2
!!! compile problem

I and Gen2KungFoo from openprojects.net #gentoo tracked this down to looking 
in the headers of /usr/src/linux instead of /usr/headers .. I believe it was.. 
needless to say apmd will NOT compile with 2.4.19 currently.

in a few minutes, do an emerge rsync, then an "emerge --update system".  You
should get a new linux-headers installed (2.4.19) that should fix this compile
problem.

I'm still getting this error, even after an emerge --update system.

I tried to muddle through this one... after posting to the apmd mailing list I
got this response from Thomas Hood:

Jonathan White gave me the following advice:
--------------
Change the following in apmsleep.c:

#include <asm/spinlock.h>
to
#include <linux/spinlock.h>
--------------
It seems to be pretty good advice as I was able to get apmd compiled and
installed.  I don't have the skillz to fix the ebuild though.  The people from
the apmd mailing list seem to think we should have this asm dir and not even be
compiling against the kernel headers.

OK, fixed in the latest apmd ebuild 3.0.2-r2; thanks meekrob :)
