incompatible unaligned.h between x86 and ppc - kernel-hackers verify please
Hello List, hello Klaus, hello Benjamin!
At the moment I am fighting with an error on ppc when I want to compile
the new vdr-1.3.14 from Klaus Schmidinger.
vdr uses unaligned.h and it stops compiling with an error about
"get_unaligned not declared" on ppc. I tracked this down with the help
of Klaus to a different header-file asm/unaligned.h between x86 and
ppc. The asm-ppc/unaligned.h has two lines more - at the begining of
unaligned.h "#ifdef __KERNEL__" and at the end "#endif /* KERNEL */".
So I "greped" around in /usr/src/linux/include/asm-* and found that ppc
uses this construct, only!
If I remove the #ifdef-#endif-lines I get no "not declared" error any
more.
I am not a kernel-hacker (I am not a programmer at all) so I can only
guess that this is an obsolete declaration that could be removed. I am
using the kernel-source 2.6.8.1 from kernel.org.
So could the kernel-hackers verify this and correct me or
asm-ppc/unaligned.h, please. ;-)
Bye, thanks,
Christoph
