Bug 388687 – net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.7.3-r5 fails to build when libnl:3 is installed

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

The build log

When libnl:3 is installed, wpa_supplicant fails to build. The same issue occurs even when libnl:1.1 is installed as well. In order to build it, I have to completely remove libnl:3 which is at least weird.

[Comment 1 Marek Vojtko 2011-10-27 23:52:31 UTC]

Same here, the emerge fails with

../src/drivers/driver_nl80211.c:22:31: fatal error: netlink/genl/genl.h: No such file or director

[Comment 2 Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) 2011-10-28 07:43:46 UTC]

Could you try and do an emerge --sync and confirm that the line regarding CONFIG_LIBNL20 is commented out in the ebuild?

I've changed the ebuild so it no longer sets the LIBNL20 setting in the compile config file, so i should compile against libnl-1.1 .

Here is the info from my machine where it works:
Installed versions of dev-libs/libnl: 1.1-r2 3.2.1

>>> Source compiled.

So it compiles fine here, so I'm suspecting that you haven't got the newest ebuild from the tree.

If you emerge --sync, does the problem persist?

[Comment 4 Marek Vojtko 2011-10-28 13:16:53 UTC]

emerge --sync and emerging again seems to have solved the problem. Thank you.

Great, closing bug :)
