Bug 42672 – svgalib 1.9.17-r3 compile error in main.c --- wrong include

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tim 2004-02-23 17:05:35 UTC]

/kernel/svgalib_helper/main.c is missing picking up an include with

typedef void irqreturn_t;

So there is a compilation syntax error. Is line 19 in /kernel/svgalib_helper/kernel26compat.h wrongly out of bounds on 2.4.25 kernel?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge svgalib
2.
3.

make sure your linux-headers are up-to-date

[Comment 2 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2004-02-24 09:12:39 UTC]

Try updating your Portage tree and remerging svgalib...

[Comment 3 Collin Starkweather 2004-02-24 11:18:24 UTC]

I was having the same problem with svgalib 1.9.17-r3 and linux-headers 2.4.19-r1.  I updated to linux-headers 2.4.21.  Same problems:

In file included from main.c:24:

main.c:430:41: missing binary operator before token "("
main.c:442:41: missing binary operator before token "("

!!! ERROR: media-libs/svgalib-1.9.17-r3 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 59, Exitcode 2
!!! Failed to build kernel module!

Also, FWIW, I was getting tons of these

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:119: Warning: using `%eax' instead of `%ax' due to `l' suffix
{standard input}:188: Warning: using `%eax' instead of `%ax' due to `l' suffix

during the build.  Don't quite know what they mean.  And I got one of these

make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/svgalib-1.9.17-r3/work/svgalib-1.9.17/sharedlib'
ln: `../src/svgalib_helper.h': File exists

make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/svgalib-1.9.17-r3/work/svgalib-1.9.17/sharedlib'

during the build but it didn't seem to halt the build process as the above error did.

Here is my emerge info:

[Comment 4 Collin Starkweather 2004-02-24 11:21:29 UTC]

P.S.  I did do an `emerge sync` to make sure I was fetching the latest linux-headers and svgalib.

[Comment 5 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2004-02-24 11:42:13 UTC]

Collin: That should be fixed, if you try "emerge sync" in half-an-hour and try merging svgalib again [ you might need to empty out /var/tmp/portage/svgalib-* first ] it should be resolved. Thanks.

[Comment 6 Collin Starkweather 2004-02-24 13:05:50 UTC]

Thanks, Tim.  That did the trick.

[Comment 7 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2004-02-24 13:16:32 UTC]

Closing as fixed, thanks!
