Bug report: CELL on linux-2.6.19-git7 won't build,

[Linas Vepstas]

Hi Arnd, Geoff,

At this time, linux-2.6.19-git7 won't build when CELL is enabled, with the error

  CHECK   include/asm/spu_info.h
/kernels/kernel.org/linux-2.6.19-git7/usr/include/asm/spu_info.h requires asm/spu.h, which does not exist in exported headers

So I modified include/asm-powerpc/Kbuild only to get

  CHECK   include/asm/spu.h
/kernels/kernel.org/linux-2.6.19-git7/usr/include/asm/spu.h requires linux/workqueue.h, which does not exist in exported
headers

So I stripped everything out. I'm not sure what the correct fix is
suposed to be.

Linas,

Yes, that's with CONFIG_HEADERS_CHECK=y.  Arnd sent that fix
out yesterday.  Please see:

I have to turn that off. Its annoying, actually.

That means it's doing its job :)

The fact that this bug made it all the way into Linus' tree without
getting noticed means that too few people are using it, though.
