[linux 2.6.3] [gcc 3.3.3] compile errors

[mjl]

hello please cc me since I'm not a member
all my builds fails with this error

In file included from ../include/swab.h:20,
                 from ../include/misc.h:12,
                 from io.c:21:
/usr/include/linux/byteorder/swab.h:133: error: syntax error before "__u16"
/usr/include/linux/byteorder/swab.h:146: error: syntax error before "__u32"
make[1]: *** [io.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/sorcery/reiserfsprogs-3.6.13/lib'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1


I looked into the source and  the line is


static __inline__ __attribute_const__ __u16 __fswab16(__u16 x)
{


which don't looks bad ......
thanks

You are using userspace headers for building the kernel.
Maybe you have a symbolic link from linux/include/asm to the
userspace headers.  If so, Don't Do That.
In any case, don't use userspace headers to build the kernel.

the problem is that this is a part of compile log from a userspace 
program....... I builded the kernel right but can't compile some 
userspace programs (such as Mplayer, linux-utils.....)
the configuration I use :
copy from /usr/src/linux/include/asm to /usr/include/asm
copy from /usr/src/linux/include/asm-generic to /usr/include/asm-generic
copy from /usr/src/linux/include/linux to /usr/include/linux

is this wrong ? I've done this all the time (since 2.4.2 kernel) without 
problem..... if i'm wrong please correct my behaviour

You should use the kernel headers to build glibc; and sanitised headers
such as RedHat's or http://ep09.pld-linux.org/~mmazur/linux-libc-headers/
to build the rest of the system.  Suggest you follow www.linuxfromscratch.org 
for further details.

Just edit offending files and take out the '__attribute_const__'s - I am
guessing you tried to compile cdrtools ... =)

O_O! question what is the purpose of having two set of headers? do you 
think this is good work to provide a unsable set of headers with a 
software? why not include the RedHat's one then......

I think that this is off topic for this list; so I will email you direct, 
quite soon, with some reasons and links.

Nothing wrong with using RedHat, nice distro; but your question was about
building with 2.6.x headers.  The functionality of 2.6.x is needed by glibc; 
but not in user space.  How that is achieved is quite difficult.
