Description giuseppe 2006-08-10 05:49:12 UTC 
Version:           3.5.4 (using KDE 3.5.4, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.6
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.17.6

When i try to compile kdebase from sources,with 2.6.16 headers
i get this

Can you fix it?
Thanks
Comment 1 Louai Al-Khanji 2006-08-31 19:46:52 UTC 
According to a report on irc this happens with 3.5 svn as well. Isn't is proper procedure to not include kernel headers? I thought the kernel guys have always taken that view.
Comment 2 Chantry Xavier 2006-08-31 19:54:04 UTC 
I'm the one who reported it, attaching the error.

in kcontrol/joystick/joydevice.h, I replaced the #include <linux/joystick.h> by the content of the /usr/include/linux/joystick file, removed the #ifdef and friends, and the last problematic structure with the __s64 members.
Then it built fine, but I probably added more things than what was required in the joydevice header.

Comment 4 Chantry Xavier 2006-09-01 16:34:16 UTC 
oh, great, I just had a look at bug 124619 (duplicate), and it's marked as invalid.
Is it really correct to include directly the headers in /usr/include/linux ?

Comment 6 Chantry Xavier 2006-09-01 17:24:27 UTC 
It doesn't seem to be correct. Please have a look at this :

Comment 7 giuseppe 2006-10-06 23:54:46 UTC 
Solved with 3.5.5
works perfect with
2.6.18 headers
