• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description fatcop 2007-03-14 09:22:07 UTC]

Emerge of sys-fs/cloop-2.04 (current stable) fails with compile error.

I am using the kernel 2.16.19-r5 (current stable).
gcc version 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sys-fs/cloop
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Here is the part of the log with the error:

Also, emerge of unstable cloop-2.05 does not work either for a different reason.
No mirror that I try can download it properly for some reason.
When one does it has a digest mismatch error.
I will raise a seperate bug report for that (and put link here).

my system info:
Portage 2.1.2.2 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.4-r4, 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 i686)

try with 2.0.5 please

2.04 is the unmasked version.  There should be some kind of dependency on older versions of the kernel.  It seems that this does not work with newer versions.

Here are my top-most build errors:

2.05 also does not work.
