Description

I am unable to compile madwifi trunk r2327 on Debian Etch for Sparc.

Compile output:

FYI, 0.9.3 also doesn't compile, but there are other errors. If I should also attach the compile output for 0.9.3 to this ticket, please ask :-)

Ok, when I remove the "minstrel/" from ath_rate/Makefile, I'm seeing the same error as the one I'm seeing with 0.9.3, so I'll attach the compile output here anyway :-)

I get this same 2nd error on my alpha with 0.9.3

(follow-up: ↓ 5 ) 05/16/07 00:27:53 changed by strasak@bubakov.net

Quick workaround could be to comment out line #149 - in trunk, but probably the same in 0.9.3. The line - WARNINGS = -Werror - causes this behavior : 

cc1: warnings being treated as errors

commenting it out should let you compile madwifi , but doesn't mean it would run flawlessly - try and you will see :)

Replying to strasak@bubakov.net:

Instead you could also run make WARNINGS=

sorry, forgot filename , it is Makefile.inc, mike's way is faster anyway so use that ->
make WARNINGS=

OK. With "make WARNINGS=", madwifi r2339 compiles fine. However, 'modprobe ath_pci' doesn't seem to be very happy: 

ultra5:~/madwifi/madwifi-svn# modprobe ath_pci
Killed

And 'dmesg' shows me this:

Yep, alpha guy here still. It compiled, modprobe killed my box, it won't boot up now once it loads the module. So same boat as Stijn Tintel.

With madwifi r2347, I still have the compile error I initially reported in this ticket (during compile of minstrel rate module).

When I remove "minstrel/" from the Makefile in the ath_rate dir, madwifi compiles fine. Unfortunately, when I modprobe ath_pci, I'm still having a kernel oops. It looks the same as the one I posted in #comment:7.

maybe you should try branch with newer HAL as last resort, but it could be that sparc is broken, take a look at ticket #493

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.
  • milestone set to version 0.9.4.

r2349.

I believe the compiling problem is fixed and that the other problem is #493. Hence, I am closing htis ticket.

Madwifi r2350 seems to compile fine without any workaround. Thanks!

For the kernel oops, I'll take a look at ticket #493, and attach other info there.
