Bug 18341 – [EBUILD] OpenAFS 1.2.6, 1.2.8, 1.3.2, all fails to merge

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Siuchung Cheung (Clement) 2003-03-28 00:22:49 UTC]

undefined reference errno in objects

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge /usr/portage/net-fs/openafs/openafs-1.2.8.ebuild
emerge /usr/portage/net-fs/openafs/openafs-1.2.6.ebuild
emerge /usr/portage/net-fs/openafs/openafs-1.3.2.ebuild
Actual Results:  
undefined reference errno in objects

Expected Results:  
:-)

After adding #include <errno.h> to src/sys/rmtsyss.c and src/ptserver/pt_util.c,
it compiles.

I've checked these files on OpenAFS's CVS, they do have #include <errno.h>. I'm
not sure if Gentoo is using an outdated version or what.

1.2.8 is actually the latest stable release and we are using the 1.3.2 development release. All I can say is the fix must be added on their cvs and we need to add to our package...I'll look into it.

FYI I was browsing bugs.gentoo.org to investigate compilation errors I've got in other programs. Looks like this problem is caused by bug #16267, which breaks program that "forget" to #include <errno.h>.

Sounds like OpenAFS is just one of the many programs that would stop working. I've kind of surprised that so many developers use errno in the wrong way.

Is possible to fix this bug? It seems to be a simple task and I would (and possibly not  
only me) appreciate a working afs...

See Bug 18658 for patches related to undefined references ...

i can confirm this for the 1.3.2-r1 ebuild
