Description John Daschbach 2004-11-24 16:28:48 UTC

When I try and emerge openafs the build fails with a gcc error message indicating a compile problem.  I have had openafs installed before, but it will no longer build.  I suspect it has to do with a change in gcc since I sucessfully compile openafs.  However, I upgraded the kernel and openafs no longer worked so I unmerged it and then tried to emerge openafs.  

I have tried 2 ebuilds, the current 1.2.11 and the older 1.2.10-r1 build.  

The problem appears to be with the current gcc.  I get the same error trying to compile outside of portage from the original source from openafs.org.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge openafs
2.

OpenAFS needs a developer to take up maintenance.

Comment 2 Martin Mokrejš 2005-07-02 02:26:56 UTC

This happens also with openafs-1.2.13. It seems one cannot build openafs against
newer kernels. The incompatibility was introduced between linux-2.4.26-rc1 and
linux-2.4.27-pre2.

Watch for upstream resolution at

Upstream ticket seems to be marked as resolved, though I haven't seen a new
1.2.x release.  My guess is that they call the fix openafs-1.4.0 (out today). 
Is upgrading to 1.4.0 an option for you?  

(If you do, please take the documentation at
http://dev.gentoo.org/~stefaan/prerelease/openafs-guide/guide.html into account,
it's an update for the gentoo guide that has not been pushed yet)

No response in a month. Marking as UPSTREAM, as a (resolved) ticket about this
issue is available there.  

I don't think I'm planning to push out a new stable 1.2.x, I think 1.4.x is the
way to go.  And noone seems to be asking for 1.2.x anyway.
