New issue 217 by [email protected]: Cannot compile vim 7.4.238+ with
Linux kernel version <= 2.6.36 due to addition of smack support.
http://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=217
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to compile vim 7.4.238+ on a host with Linux kernel version < 2.6.36
(e.g. RHEL 6.4, kernel 2.6.32)
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The smack configure check, added in patch 238 and enabled by default,
checks for the 'llistxattr' symbol and the xattr.h header. The symbol and
include both exist in Linux versions older than 2.6.36, which causes
HAVE_SMACK to be set.
However, the smack code in os_unix.c makes use of XATTR_NAME_* defines that
were introduced 2.6.36
(http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/xattr.h?v=2.6.36). This
causes the compile to fail.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Vim 7.4.238+, RHEL 6.4 Linux kernel version 2.6.32
Please provide any additional information below.
If possible, the configure check code should use the XATTR_NAME_* defines
it uses in os_unix.c, such that the check fails when compiled against a
kernel where those defs don't exist.
