Description LordKow 2004-08-13 12:29:44 UTC

Line 78 ( i believe) in linux26-headers-2.6.7-r4 reads order = fls(count); , implying the function fls. This causes GCC 3.4 to error out with the implied declaration of function ... error.

Patch is supplied. Error found while I was compiling the new DirectFB.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge DirectFB with linux26-headers-2.6.7-r4
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
DirectFB failed to compile.

Expected Results:  
Should have compiled.

Bitops patch for linux26-headers-2.6.7-r4

Tested this with a modified linux26-headers-2.6.7-r4.ebuild, works perfect.

Hm; can you try remerging your 2.6.7-r4 headers after an "emerge sync" and try compiling DirectFB without that patch?

Comment 3 LordKow 2004-08-13 16:08:56 UTC

Well it compiled now, something must have been broke when I first emerged linux26-headers-2.6.7-r4, all is fine now.
