Error on Alpha Server

[Alex Joe]

Hello!
After 'make install' on Debian etch I've this problem:

System info:
Debian etch 2.6.18-5-alpha-smp #1 SMP
Two Alpha EV56 599.42MHz processors, 1024.28 total bogomips, 2047M RAM
System library 2.3.6

I've no idea what's wrong

Hm, maybe (just guessing - but I've no specific idea) debain an alpha cpu behaves similar too some sort of BSD?

in lr_syntax we find this:

#if defined(__OpenBSD__) || defined(__FreeBSD__)
#include <sys/proc.h>
#else
#include <sys/procfs.h>
#endif

so maybe it's something there.

I assume the /usr/include files are different on a aplpha than on my server - so it's not easy...

[Alex Joe]

On Alpha are the same files in /usr/include. It's the same Debian which is on x86 architecture, differences are only in kernel. Alpha is 64-bit architecture.

Files in /usr/include/sys/ on my server:

Quote:acct.h ipc.h procfs.h socket.h termios.h user.h
bitypes.h kdaemon.h profil.h socketvar.h timeb.h ustat.h
cdefs.h kd.h ptrace.h soundcard.h time.h utsname.h
dir.h klog.h queue.h statfs.h times.h vfs.h
epoll.h mman.h quota.h stat.h timex.h vlimit.h
errno.h mount.h raw.h statvfs.h ttychars.h vt.h
fcntl.h msg.h reboot.h stropts.h ttydefaults.h vtimes.h

gmon.h pci.h sem.h sysctl.h uio.h
gmon_out.h personality.h sendfile.h sysinfo.h ultrasound.h
ioctl.h poll.h shm.h syslog.h un.h
io.h prctl.h signal.h sysmacros.h unistd.h

File procfs.h exist. It's maybe different version of gcc? I've version 4.1.2.
Sorry for my English, I'm from Poland.

[Alex Joe]

I look files procfs.h and ucontext.h.

Line 30 of procfs.h file:

Quote:#include <sys/ucontext.h>

Lines from 50 to 60 of ucontext.h:

Quote:/* Userlevel context. */
typedef struct ucontext
{
unsigned long int uc_flags;
struct ucontext *uc_link;
unsigned long __uc_osf_sigmask;
stack_t uc_stack;
mcontext_t uc_mcontext;
__sigset_t uc_sigmask;
} ucontext_t;

Error is on line 56: stack_t uc stack;

[raphael]

I'm afraid I'm unable to give any help here. Could you please open a bug report in Debian's BTS?
# apt-get install reportbug
$ reportbug /usr/include/sys/ucontext.h

[Alex Joe]

Hi,

I resolve this problem:

Quote:/* Userlevel context. */
typedef struct ucontext
{
unsigned long int uc_flags;
struct ucontext *uc_link;
unsigned long __uc_osf_sigmask;
/* stack_t uc_stack; */
mcontext_t uc_mcontext;
__sigset_t uc_sigmask;
} ucontext_t;

#endif /* sys/ucontext.h */

And it works.
There is bug in Debian distribution for Alpha. I open a bug report.

[unugmax]

Hi,

Just had the same problem on Gentoo and a PPC. That fixed it. Thanks.

Same problem on an UltraSparc with Debian64!
There is something wrong with the cases 32/62 ...
Disable (comment) Line 265 in ucontext.h like discribed above.

GOOD WORK! THX!
