Created attachment 136060 [details, diff] ioctl definition for src/kmod/misc.c This patch fixes the include, though I am unsure of the proper location of the include.
Created attachment 136062 [details, diff] Patch to the ebuild to apply the previously sent patch This patch makes the ebuild apply the ioctl patch sent before.
could you include a patch for the 2.6.24 kernel? tnx
This fix has been in the MOL svn for a while, but to use MOL on newer kernels, you'll also need a kernel patch. This patch is available on the MOL bugzilla.
Created attachment 171429 [details, diff] for mol-0.9.72.1 with kernels >= 2.6.23
Created attachment 171433 [details, diff] some fixes for mol-0.9.72.1
Created attachment 171435 [details, diff] Patch to the ebuild to apply the 2 previously sent patches For kernels >= 2.6.23 , don't forget to apply the mm_fault patch on your kernel sources : http://dev.gentoo.org/~josejx/mol-mm.patch
Created attachment 174958 [details] build.log of mol-0.9.72.1.ebuild w/ last 2 patches mol-0.9.72.1.ebuild w/ last 2 patches failed to compile for me.
The reason why 0.9.72.1 fails to build with kernels 2.6.27+ is that the arch has changed from ppc to powerpc. If you fix that, it will build just fine.
I followed http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-756440-highlight-mol.html Would it be worth adding somthing like this to the ebuild? if ! test -d /usr/src/linux/arch/ppc; then eerror "Please create link from arch/powerpc as below" eerror "ln -s /usr/src/linux/arch/powerpc usr/src/linux/arch/ppc" die "Failed prerequisite" fi
It compiles but the module wont insert with 2.6.30 mol: Unknown symbol handle_mm_fault
Sorry, I've kind of let MOL fall aside since a kernel dev removed the export for symbols that MOL uses, but it can be fixed if someone has the need and time to do so.

Is this package going to be fixed or should we just package.mask it? If its going to be fixed, I'll remove the use flag to fix the deps.
I've masked MOL for now, if anyone wants to help fix it up, please let us know.
Probably a candidate for treecleaning
dropped
