Running kernel 2.6.8-gentoo-r4

[Comment 1 Stefan Knoblich (RETIRED) 2004-09-24 12:51:39 UTC]

this is not an asterisk bug,

which version of linux-headers is installed?

[Comment 2 Stefan de Konink 2004-09-24 13:44:28 UTC]

sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1 and compiling with sys-devel/gcc-3.4.2-r2

typedef struct {
        int elements_used;
        IXJ_CADENCE_TERM termination;
        IXJ_CADENCE_ELEMENT __user *ce;
} IXJ_CADENCE;

I presume the __user is the issue here, could that be a missing include?

[Comment 3 Disaster 2004-09-29 08:26:47 UTC]

same kernel headers (sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1), same gcc (sys-devel/gcc-3.4.2-r2  -bootstrap* -build -debug -f77 -gcj +gtk -hardened -n32 -n64 +nls -nomultilib -objc -static (-uclibc)), same kernel (sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r4  -build -doc -ultra1) and same error!

[Comment 4 Disaster 2004-10-02 02:08:20 UTC]

the solution is:
edit your line 353 in /usr/include/linux/ixjuser.h
from " IXJ_CADENCE_ELEMENT __user *ce;" to " IXJ_CADENCE_ELEMENT __user, *ce;" and  asterisk will compile

[Comment 5 Stefan de Konink 2004-10-02 03:49:53 UTC]

Works, so now it should be fixed in the kernel I guess.
