Modified the development-2.6.0_beta7-r3 ebuild to correctly install its headers to /usr/include.
Created attachment 19320 [details] ebuild and digest files
This probably isn't a good idea. The number of packages that do not compile correctly against 2.6 headers is pretty nasty. There is work being done a nice clean sanitized set of headers, other than that we need to wait for a number of upstream apps to work with 2.6 headers (which may take awhile since some of the packages have been abandoned)
I'm currently doing an 'emerge -e system' to catch bugs in the core packages and will try to fix them. This ebuild is purely for experimental purposes, I figured others would like to experiment too :). First fix is available for util-linux (bug #31286).
Could you post any additional header fixes in this thread?
I've created a new sash ebuild for sash-3.6, removed the dependencies on kernel headers from the code and build a nicer readline patch. It seems someone already posted an ebuild for 3.6, so I've added an attachment there: bug #26272 (it's the 3rd attachment, includes all patches)
iputils is fixed for compilation against 2.6 header files. (see bug #25459)
Fix for e2fsprogs-1.33 can be found here: bug #31419. <linux/major.h> does not define the SCSI_DISK_MAJOR macro anymore, so I've included a #ifndef ... #endif in e2fsprogs which defines it when needed.
Fix for net-tools 1.60 can be found here: bug #31420.
Quick update: emerge -pe system will now compile without failures using these 2.6 headers.
Can you add xfree 4.3.0-r3, Mozilla 1.5 and Xine-lib 1.0_rc1 to the things that won't compile against 2.6 kernel headers? Thanks... Q
Created attachment 19651 [details] 2.6 linux-headers ebuild Hate to spoil the party, But I created a 2.6.0-testX linux-headers ebuild awhile ago. It's based off the linux-headers-2.4.21 ebuild already in portage, so it makes keeping the two up to date. Plus it relies on kernel.eclass to handle the bulk of the work. Give it a look over, see if it may fix some of the things that are reported to break. This will create headers for linux-2.6.0-test8, btw. It can be changed to a new version by simply renaming the file. Let me know of any ideas or improvements, or critique it between this ebuild and the one Peter posted.
I've been running 2.6 headers for quite a while, here are a few things off the top of my head that still don't work: libdv-0-99-r1 abiword-2.0.1 ffmpeg-0.4.8 libgtop-2.5.0
basically any package that includes fbcon.h breaks (many video related apps do) i think thats the biggest source of breakage
The new linux-headers ebuild in portage breaks on me. (actually so does the one here) ( floam ~ ) emerge linux-headers -p These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2200, in ? mydepgraph.display(mydepgraph.altlist()) File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1105, in display elif (not "--emptytree" in myopts) and portage.db[x[1]]["vartree"].exists_specific_cat(x[2]): File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3480, in exists_specific_cat self.invalidentry(self.root+"var/db/pkg/"+a[0]+"/"+x) AttributeError: vartree instance has no attribute 'invalidentry'
floam: that bug is unrelated, see Bug 31901
Oh, sorry about that, must have been a coincidence. (the bad lockfile was for a kernel, so it only happened when I pretended to emerge linux-headers)
I hope this is still the place to report stuff that will not work with 2.6 headers. Samba 3.0.0-r1 and strace-4.5.1 failing.
sys-apps/usbutils-0.11.-r3 are failing with 2.6.0
Strace: Fixed, ebuild MD5 is 903faf7b20e914e07d9107b6c1508a4d. USBUtils: Fixed, do a ``emerge sync'' and remerge linux-headers-2.6.0.
media-video/avifile-0.7.38.20030710 fails too with these new headers.
avifile fails because of the redefinition of the time struct like we talked about on irc plasmaroo
I've got a patch ready for avifile, it'll be in Portage soon.
Avifile is also now fixed. Make sure you've got linux-headers-2.6.0, ebuild CVS revision 1.2 and avifile-0.7.38.20030710, ebuild CVS revision 1.8.
sys-fs/reiserfsprogs-3.6.11(-r1) are broken too.: output: if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../include -mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -MT io.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/io.Tpo" \ -c -o io.o `test -f 'io.c' || echo './'`io.c; \ then mv ".deps/io.Tpo" ".deps/io.Po"; \ else rm -f ".deps/io.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../include -mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -MT misc.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/misc.Tpo" \ -c -o misc.o `test -f 'misc.c' || echo './'`misc.c; \ then mv ".deps/misc.Tpo" ".deps/misc.Po"; \ else rm -f ".deps/misc.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi misc.c: In function `count_blocks': misc.c:431: error: syntax error before '[' token make[1]: *** [misc.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/reiserfsprogs-3.6.11/work/reiserfsprogs-3.6.11/lib' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
Reiserfsprogs should work - make sure you've got reiserfsprogs-3.6.11, v1.5 and the latest linux-headers which you'll need to remerge.
I emerged 2.6 headers and did a 'emerge -e world'. Following packages did not compile: media-libs/libdv media-libs/gst-plugins media-video/transcode net-fs/samba net-misc/iputils
libdv compiles fine with the latest libdv version with the latest 2.6 headers, so it should work once you sync your tree. Samba should also work with the latest headers, if it doesn't work after remerging your headers can you please file a bug for that and paste in the error messages? Same goes for gst-plugins and transcode.
sys-apps/apmd-3.2.0 fails too. (tested apmd-3.2.0 1.1 and linux-headers-2.6.0 1.3) See bug #29636. (Comment #2 shows the error). The patch which was applied to apmd-3.0.2-r3 doesn't work with apmd-3.2.0.
OK - apmd-3.2.0 should now work; make sure you sync your Portage tree first.
It works for gst-plugins and transcode. But I still have problems with : media-libs/libdv-0.99-r1 net-fs/samba-3.0.1-r1 and net-misc/iputils-021109 (it builds fine with iputils-020927) I will file a bug report for samba and libdv since it is supposed to build with 2.6 headers (I have linux-headers-2.6.0,v 1.3)
media-libs/libdv and net-misc/iputils-021109 should now work; sync your tree and they should compile without any problems.

All I'll say about iputils is that I hate it. As far as I can tell, it's not maintained upstream (I've heard reports that it is), so if it is, then the upstream people need to pump out a new release to address the changing nature of new headers (Unless someone wants to take a shot at patching it). I dealt with similar issues between iputils-020927 and linux-2.4.22 headers, which look to have somehow been fixed in the 021109 copy, which is in unstable right now.
*** Bug 37081 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Derk: On your other two machines, you need to sync and get the latest headers - that should go away and I fixed that a while ago. You will however, get that "no such file" error - I am currently investigating that issue, it looks like a GCC problem, not something related to the kernel headers. The previous version of iputils should build successfully.
Derk: Sync your tree and iputils-021109 should now compile...
ok compiles on all machines now but note: yacc is now a dependency was not on one of my machines so it had to be added before compilation would complete.
I've got some problems compiling mplayer due to the following: http://zebra.fh-weingarten.de/~maxi/html/mplayer-dev-eng/2003-12/msg00026.html as you read read this is fixed in debian: http://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2003/debian-glibc-200311/msg00096.html it'd be great if these changes are ported to gentoo too! (Disable the guts of <linux/compiler.h> in userspace)
oops, forget to reemerge ebuild, everything works fine! great work
*** Bug 31695 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The sys-kernel/linux-headers should provide a sanitized set of default headers. It's a bad idea to use actual headers in /usr/src/linux-version/ since they change very often and are specific to a certain kernel.
