[linux-lvm] Problem compiling LVM 1.0.5

[Anders Widman]

   I have a problem with compiling LVM 1.0.5.

   Configure works fine. but when I run make I get this message:

I am running Red Hat 7.3 with GCC 3.1.1 (and tried with the 2.96 that
came with Red Hat..)

Thanks for any help.

Try removing the line in tools/lib/liblvm.h that includes
<linux/autoconf.h>.

why don't you just do this in CVS?
it has been discussed before, see the list archives.

Hello Anders,

it's a very simple solution.

in the new RH, glibc-devel and the INCLUDE policy/tactics is to DO NOT
INCLUDE kernel header files to user space program.

you get this error:
#error Invalid kernel header included in userspace

this is only preprocessor directive-it's only to break make.

you can simple use the files from kernel include tree.

change the include path or overwrite the old one.

[root@gis2 root]# more /usr/include/linux/autoconf.h
#error Invalid kernel header included in userspace
[root@gis2 root]#
[root@gis2 root]# more /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h
.....

it's save??????

for   now   yes,  all  programers  need  to  change  INCLUDE files for
COMPATIBLE INCLUDE TACTICS. this same problem has a lot of software.
if you want know all about it read some articles on the web! :))

have a nice day!


Martin

  Linus has been trying to get people to do this for years.

  Basically, the Linus policy is that userland programs should *NEVER*
directly include kernel headers.  That includes the C library itself.  
Kernel headers are decreed to be Not For Userland Consumption.  The kernel
provides a binary interface.  If you want to use said binary interface, you
are supposed to write your own headers, either from scratch, or via
cut-and-paste from the kernel headers.

  Whether or not this is the Right Thing to do is immaterial; this is what
the kernel hackers expect you to do.
