Hi all, I have submitted a patch upstream to the E2fsprogs maintainers to add a function to the libcom_err library so that it will be compatible with Heimdal. Without the patch to E2fsprogs, Heimdal will end up adding a new libcom_err library in /usr/lib and overwrite the .so file that points to the E2fsprogs library, /lib/libcom_err.xxx.
E2fsprogs is already trying to support Heimdal. They added a file to the package called com_right.c and added a definition to com_err.h which adds the Heimdal com_right function. However, Heimdal apparently has added a new function to their version of libcom_err called com_right_r. My patch (from arch-linux) adds this function so Heimdal will then use the existing libcom_err library from E2fsprogs and everything works properly. I would appreciate if the LFS dev team would consider adding this patch to the E2fsprogs build in the -dev book until E2fsprogs adds it to a new version of the package. For people building LFS-dev, the patch means that Heimdal will install clean and not install an unneeded library. I'll have to figure out something for the Heimdal package for users installing on LFS-6.5 and LFS-6.6. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.22] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 10:18:01 up 68 days, 15:26, 1 user, load average: 0.14, 0.03, 0.01 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
