Bug 178790 – dev-util/elfkickers-2.0a-r1 fails to build with recent linux-headers

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2007-05-16 17:23:39 UTC]

/var/tmp/portag/dev-util/elfkickers-2.0a-r1/work/ELFkickers
/var/tmp/portag/dev-util/elfkickers-2.0a-r1/work/ELFkickers
rebind.c:11:23: error: linux/elf.h: No such file or directory


A simple sed -i -e 's:linux/elf.h:elf.h' rebind/rebind.c should fix it (ebfc/ subdirectory also make the same mistake, but I don't think the brainfuck compiler gets built right now anyway).

For what it's worth, the Makefile does not abort on error, so the ebuild fails in the install phase instead.

HTH,
Diego

Fixed this and did a mass of other changes and cleanups. elfls and rebind now work 
on 64bit bins. Please try elfkickers-2.0a-r2.ebuild and reopen if problem 
continues.

I'm still suffering from this on x86, reopening.

I over looked ebfc on x86. Let me update that in -r3

swap linux/elf.h for elf.h in ebfc/*.c

Here's a patch.  Builds cleanly for me on x86 after this patch is applied.

And here's a patch to fix the Makefile.  With this patch, "make" aborts as it should, rather than continuing the loop.

Is this -r3 going to be released soon? It seems it's more than a month long since it has been announced and this bug is still annoying me.

Thanks.

[Comment 7 Alexander Huemer 2007-07-11 17:39:03 UTC]

i too wonder when -r3 is released. i have the same problems like all the others on x86.

[Comment 9 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2007-08-30 14:18:15 UTC]

Compilation problem is fixed with sed:

+       use x86 && sed -i -e 's:linux/elf.h:elf.h:' ebfc/*.c
 
in elfkickers-2.0a-r3.ebuild.

As for Makefile, Mark, please, if you wish, open another enhancement bug and attach your patch there.
