libexplain FTBFS on Alpha with the following: libtool: compile: gcc -Wall -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wl,--as-needed -I. -c libexplain/buffer/eio.c -fPIC -DPIC -o libexplain/buffer/.libs/eio.o In file included from libexplain/buffer/eio.c:22:0: ./libexplain/ac/fcntl.h:35:32: fatal error: linux/ac/sys/types.h: No such file or directory Full build log is available at: http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libexplain&arch=alpha&ver=0.51.D001-1&stamp=1329468418 The compilation fails because of some trickery in the file libexplain/ac/fcntl.h, namely: #if defined(__alpha__) && defined(HAVE_LINUX_FCNTL_H) #include <libexplain/ac/linux/types.h> /* Ubuntu Hardy needs this first */ /* This is very strange, but numerous tests fail if we use <fcntl.h> because is appears to have several incorrect macro definitions */ #include <linux/ac/sys/types.h> #include <linux/fcntl.h> #else I'm not sure why a compilation path unique to Alpha is present but I found the following in the libexplain changelog which seems relevant: libexplain (0.35.D006-1) unstable; urgency=low * A build problem concerning <fcntl.h> has been fixed: it turns out that on Liunux [sic] alpha <fcntl.h> has the wrong values for O_LARGEFILE and O_DIRECTORY, and you must use <linux/fcntl.h> instead. I find that comment somewhat mystifying as O_LARGEFILE is defined to be 0, which I believe to be correct as _all_ files are by default and by design O_LARGEFILE, and O_DIRECTORY is defined to be 0100000 which is the same as is in the linux kernel source. (They may not be the same as x86 which is not a problem.) I ran a test build where I had commented out the Alpha specific code in libexplain/ac/fcntl.h so it would use the standard code that every other architecture uses and the compilation passed that point and went on for a lot further until it failed with: libtool: compile: gcc -Wall -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wl,--as-needed -I. -c libexplain/iocontrol/tiocgetp.c -fPIC -DPIC -o libexplain/iocontrol/.libs/tiocgetp.o libexplain/iocontrol/tiocgetp.c:31:5: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct sgttyb' That is due to use of the TIOCGETP macro. It appears that <termios.h> only declares 'struct sgttyb' but does not define it so the sizeof operator on struct sgttyb fails. Struct sgttyb is defined in: /usr/include/alpha-linux-gnu/asm/termios.h but I haven't been able to work out why that is not being included. It's getting late so I am filing the bug report at this stage. Cheers Michael. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
