• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description A Frederick Christensen 2008-11-09 07:28:38 UTC]

kiax fails to compile, dying with the following output:

libiax2/src/iax.c: In function ‘iax_register’:
libiax2/src/iax.c:1556: error: ‘struct hostent’ has no member named ‘h_addr’
libiax2/src/iax.c: In function ‘iax_call’:
libiax2/src/iax.c:1949: error: ‘struct hostent’ has no member named ‘h_addr’
make[1]: *** [libiax2/src/iax.o] Error 1

Patch to fix the h_addr issue

This patch fixed the compile for me. (Worked on x86 ... haven't tested any other circumstances.)

Ebuild that includes the patch above.

Thanks for submitting this compile fix. Could you post your version of glibc as additional info, since the problem must come from newer versions of glibc dropping h_addr definition from netdb.h?

Thanks for pointing that out, Wormo. I'm running sys-libs/glibc-2.8_p20080602.

Patch from 0.8.51 to 0.8.51-r1

This patch use the patch to fix glibc-2.8 issue. It is also cleaning the ebuild and fixing bug #233062.

Note: I had a sandbox violation so I add :
    # throw a sandbox error otherwise
    sed -ie "s:../../../../../../../../share:usr/share:g" \
        src/Makefile || die "patching src/Makefile failed"
I made many tests and I don't think it's linked with my system.
Can anyone confirm this ?

As I have not glibc-2.8, I must trust Frederick about his patch fixing everything. Only I can say is it is not breaking anything without glibc-2.8 ;)
Another time, can anyone test this ?

Ebuild for kiax-0.8.51-r1

I search a deeper reason about sandbox violation and I'm now using eqmake3 instead of upstream script.
This is changing many things in the ebuild so I prefer to provide a plain text ebuild instead of a patch.

So, I just need someone to confirm this is working with glibc-2.8.

By the way, if this ebuild is added to the tree and old ones removed, configure.patch can be removed too.

thx, added -r1, removed -r0.
