Re: uClibc - waitid()

2007-01-25 Thread Sue Alfano
Well, I'm back. I didn't get any help from the uClibc folks, but I eventually figured out how to get to the waitid function in the kernel using the _syscall4 macro and the right header file. waitid worked great, but then I started having problems when more than one child needed to be reaped.

You're asking the wrong list. Try the uClibc list at uclibc.org. glibc and uClibc provide C APIs to kernel system calls. uClibc doesn't implement all features that glibc supports - there are several kernel APIs that uClibc doesn't expose. Ask the uClibc folk for advice. -- James Chapman

uClibc - waitid()

2007-01-18 Thread Sue Alfano
Can anyone help with this? We have an application that runs fine on our linux workstations, but will not compile to run on a new target. This application is using the WNOWAIT option for the waitid() function. When the source file is compiled for the target using powerpc-uclibc-gcc, it fails
