Hi,
The IRDA drivers included in RedHat 7
(2.2.16-22) conflict with LiS 2.8.
The problem is the definition of queue_t
in IRDA, which conflicts with streams.
To temporarily fix this to get LiS built and
installed I changed all the IRDA queue_t
declarations and usages to irda_queue_t with
the following perl oneliner:
find /usr/src/linux/include/net/irda /usr/src/linux/net/irda \( -name
'*.c' -o -name '*.h' \) -print |
xargs perl -pi -e 'BEGIN { undef $/; } s/\bqueue_t\b/irda_queue_t/;'
LiS then built ok.
IMHO this should get fixed in IRDA rather
than in LiS, but its an issue that should be documented
with LiS since RedHat 7 is so prevalent.
Lastly, there are another two files with potentially
conflicting queue_t declarations, although these didn't
cause trouble this time:
/usr/src/linux/./drivers/char/rio/daemon.h
/usr/src/linux/./drivers/char/rio/typdef.h
