Bug 208569 – net-dialup/hsfmodem-7.68.00.04-r1 doesn't build modules on sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.24

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Elias Probst 2008-02-02 12:31:54 UTC]

- installed sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.24
- ran 'modules-rebuild -X rebuild all'
- ran 'hsfconfig'

hsfconfig displayed the following error:
Conexant HSF softmodem driver, version 7.68.00.04full

If you need license keys, assistance or more information, please go to:

When reporting a problem for the first time, please send
us the file generated by "hsfconfig --dumpdiag".

[Comment 1 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2008-02-13 16:23:53 UTC]

you can fix this by finding the Makefile that is messing with CFLAGS, then use
a sed in the ebuild to change that to EXTRA_CFLAGS

[Comment 2 Willard Dawson 2008-02-16 20:31:03 UTC]

Me too on the build error. I created an overlay and patch files for both the ebuild and the Makefile causing the error.  However, a subsequent error occurs that I have not yet worked through.

  I have the same problem with the same errors after the patch. And I just voted for this bug.

  The latest hsfmodem-7.68.00.07, just like 05 and 06, lists in changes "Improved compatibility with newer kernels and distributions" however in this version hsfconfig freezes here for some reason.

[Comment 9 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2008-03-13 16:31:22 UTC]

CNXTNVMDIR (the first compile error) is defined in the Makefile. Your patch does this:

-CFLAGS_osnvm.o += -DCNXTSBINDIR=\"$(CNXTSBINDIR)\" -DCNXTNVMDIR=\"$(CNXTNVMDIR)\"
+EXTRA_CFLAGS_osnvm.o += -DCNXTSBINDIR=\"$(CNXTSBINDIR)\" -DCNXTNVMDIR=\"$(CNXTNVMDIR)\"

Try not renaming the assignment in that case. Instead only rename the CFLAGS= ones, not the CFLAGS_foo ones.

net-dialup: quick reminder, 2.6.24 will go stable soon

[Comment 10 Denis Dupeyron (RETIRED) 2008-04-02 22:21:56 UTC]

hsfmodem-7.68.00.09 solves the issue. The ebuild only needs to be changed to use the patches made for hsfmodem-7.68.00.04.

Denis.

[Comment 11 Alin Năstac (RETIRED) 2008-04-13 10:23:11 UTC]

Version 7.68.00.09 is now in the tree and will probably get stabilized in a month or so.

[Comment 12 Alin Năstac (RETIRED) 2008-05-19 19:30:47 UTC]

amd64 and x86 teams, please stabilize net-dialup/hsfmodem-7.68.00.09.

[Comment 13 Markus Meier 2008-05-23 21:00:58 UTC]

amd64/x86 stable, all arches done -> closing.
