Re: 2.6.31.1 BUG #include <asm/bitsperlong.h>

[Bernard Pidoux]

The problem is that when I compile an application that never 
caused any problem before I get an error due to incorrect reference to <asm/bitsperlong>

This was due to int-ll64.h including <asm/bitsperlong.h> which does not exists.

Is the correct solution to replace symbolic link ?

/usr/src/linux/include/asm->asm-x86

by

/usr/src/linux/include/asm->asm-generic

It would be wrong to include the generic version
directly.
We need access to the arch specifics definitions
before we include the generic version.

See how different architectures does various things
in their: arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/bitsperlong.h

The correct fix is to include the missing bitsperlong in
the asm-x86 directory.
In other words your kernel headers are broken.

Looking at latest kernel we do export bitsperlong.h.
So see if you can find a fix for your broken kernel headers.

Many thanks for the solution to my issue.
As I maintain the application, it was easy to perform the change
to Makefile and it worked fine.

Best regards,

The problem is the '-I/usr/src/linux/include' part of the gcc command line.
See http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelHeaders for why this is wrong.
You should notify the maintainer of the package to fix this by removing
this option. The headers in /usr/include/ are sufficient to build user
code.

ls /usr/include/asm

that's where it ends up.

the kernel's "include/asm" is supposed to be empty or near empty.

If it was supposed to install bitsperlong.h in /asm/ magic did not work.

I am a little bit puzzled for the script writes

Re: 2.6.31.1 BUG #include <asm/bitsperlong.h>

[Bernard Pidoux]

The only file in asm-x86 directory is asm-offsets.h

This is a Mandriva 2009.1 Spring distro.
I checked that it was the same on two other machines with the same 
new installed distro.

I will copy bitsperlong.h into asm-x86 as suggested.

Should other files be present in the above directory ?

Should I send a bug report to Mandriva ?

Thank you all for your help.
