Hello folks, I was trying to find out how well Parted performs on GNU (Hurd based) systems.
I tried the 1.8.2 tarball and this is what I got: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/devel/parted/parted-1.8.2$ ./configure && make ... ... fdasd.c: In function 'fdasd_get_geometry': fdasd.c:897: error: '_IOT__IOTBASE_dasd_information_t' undeclared (first use in this function) fdasd.c:897: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once fdasd.c:897: error: for each function it appears in.) make[3]: *** [fdasd.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/rishi/devel/parted/parted-1.8.2/libparted/labels' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/rishi/devel/parted/parted-1.8.2/libparted' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rishi/devel/parted/parted-1.8.2' make: *** [all] Error 2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/devel/parted/parted-1.8.2$ I went back to the 1.7.1 tarball, and got this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/devel/parted/parted-1.7.1$ ./configure && make ... ... arch/gnu.c: In function 'gnu_write': arch/gnu.c:659: error: 'PED_SECTOR_SIZE' undeclared (first use in this function) arch/gnu.c:659: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once arch/gnu.c:659: error: for each function it appears in.) cc1: warnings being treated as errors arch/gnu.c: At top level: arch/gnu.c:859: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type make[3]: *** [gnu.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/rishi/devel/parted/parted-1.7.1/libparted' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/rishi/devel/parted/parted-1.7.1/libparted' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rishi/devel/parted/parted-1.7.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/devel/parted/parted-1.7.1$ The problem in 1.7.1 is that in libparted/arch/gnu.c function gnu_write has PED_SECTOR_SIZE in line number 657. This should be PED_SECTOR_SIZE_DEFAULT, which is #define'd in include/parted/unit.h. There is no #define for PED_SECTOR_SIZE. This is issue persists in the Git snapshot too. I am lost about the other problem in libparted/labels/fdasd.c. Could not find '_IOT__IOTBASE_dasd_information_t' on the specified line number. Can someone enlighten me? However I am unable to compile the Git sources due to unavailability of Git on my local machine (I changed my distribution) and the remote GNU box. Meanwhile, what do you think?
