Public bug reported: Binary package hint: rt2500
Since feisty, rt2500 fails to build on all arches with errors: g++ -c -pipe -w -O2 -D_REENTRANT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -DQT_SHARED -DQT_TABLET_SUPPORT -I/usr/share/qt3/mkspecs/default -I. -I. -I/usr/include/qt3 -o raconfigui.o raconfigui.cpp /usr/include/linux/wireless.h:886: error: 'IFNAMSIZ' was not declared in this scope /usr/include/linux/wireless.h:925: error: 'IFNAMSIZ' was not declared in this scope /usr/include/linux/wireless.h:1049: error: 'IFNAMSIZ' was not declared in this scope Looking deeper, it seems that there was a change in the mainline kernel's wireless.h back in September where some includes have been surrounded by an #ifdef __KERNEL__ block in order to "sanitise" the header. This means that IFNAMSIZ and some other things no longer get defined. The changes can be seen at: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=baef186519c69b11cf7e48c26e75feb1e6173baa Following the comments in linux/wireless.h I tried building rt2500 with some includes changed from linux/wireless.h to iwlib.h (build dep on libiw-dev) which allowed the package to build but after installing the package, rt2500-source failed to build using module-assistant. This could be a whole different bug but that's where I became out of my depth of knowledge and felt filing a bug would be more useful. I'd be happy to try fixing this bug/s since I have an rt2500 card but I'm not very familiar with this kind of packaging so I may need some mentoring through it As an aside, this bug may be quite important to fix as a fallback if bug #120297 doesn't get fixed for gutsy. ** Affects: rt2500 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- rt2500 fails to build https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
