[Libexplain-users] libexplain 0.49 FTBFS on Fedora 16 and Fedora 17

[Eric S. <er...@br...>]

Once again, stable APIs aren't. On Fedora 16, I get the error:

libexplain/buffer/errno/lseek.c: In function 'holes_are_not_supported':
libexplain/buffer/errno/lseek.c:60:32: error: '_PC_MIN_HOLE_SIZE' 
undeclared (first use in this function)

Sure enough, on my F16 system _PC_MIN_HOLE_SIZE doesn't seem to be 
defined in any header under /usr/include.

Apparently BLK_TC_BARRIER went away in a recent kernel change.  On 
Fedora 17 (in development), I get the error:

libexplain/buffer/blk_user_trace_setup.c: In function 
'explain_buffer_blktrace_mask': 
libexplain/buffer/blk_user_trace_setup.c:39:29: error: 'BLK_TC_BARRIER' 
undeclared (first use in this function)

Best regards,
Eric

There is a new release of the website, with fixes for these two
problems.

Thanks for the update; libexplain 0.50 builds successfully on F16 and 
F17.  I did have to disable test t0524a, which fails when build in the 
koji build system, possibly due to being in a somewhat minimal chroot 
environment.  The log shows:

PATH=`pwd`/bin:$PATH /bin/sh test/05/t0524a.sh
