Description Brad Fuller 2008-08-03 21:18:25 UTC
The error:
----------------------
error: storage size of 'ifr' isn't known
----------------------

is received when compiling OOps/remote.c which is a csound5 file (http://www.csounds.com/downloads)

ifr is defined as:

    struct ifreq ifr;

This has been traced to the header file linux/if.h which has the following at the beginning of the file:

----------------------
#ifndef _LINUX_IF_H
# include <net/if.h>
# define _LINUX_IF_H
#endif

#ifndef _LINUX_IF_H
#define _LINUX_IF_H
----------------------

This can be fixed if it is changed to:

----------------------
#ifndef _LINUX_IF_H
# include <net/if.h>
/* # define _LINUX_IF_H */
#endif

#ifndef _LINUX_IF_H
#define _LINUX_IF_H
----------------------



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile OOps/remote.c

Actual Results:  
error: storage size of 'ifr' isn't known

Expected Results:  
Expected that linux.h would be the same as other distros

Which ebuild do you actually refer to?
Comment 5 Wormo (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-05 06:03:31 UTC
It looks like Brad is complaining about a failure compiling external source. The --info tells us linux-headers are version 2.6.23-r3 but the problem is more likely to be in the external source file, so he should attach the file with the compile error.

Brad: note I said "attach"... some people overlook the attachment link and paste a whole file into a comment ;)
Comment 6 Wormo (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-05 06:09:10 UTC
Brad: also a download link for the exact package you're trying to compile could be helpful

any of the Csound5.08 found at this link. I used the Linux x86_64d:

http://csound.sourceforge.net/#Downloads
Comment 9 Brad Fuller 2008-08-06 17:46:31 UTC
So sorry, I incorrectly stated the source code area link.
the actual SOURCE CODE to use is under the Source Code section:

Csound5.08.tgz

direct link:

@Brad: please stop CC'ing yourself - as reporter you are certain to get all mail and CC'ing the reporter merely duplicates information.

[1] seems to documents how to use linux/if.h or net/if.h but not both, but also explains why having both will not work. Getting rid of the linux headers while leaving the libc headers included means it compiles:

Comment 12 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-08-20 06:54:15 UTC
userspace applications should be using the C library definitions ... i dont see any requirement in that code as to why it should be banging on anything inside of linux/
