Hi all.

I am having trouble compiling a package that includes libtool's ltdl
library. Whenever I run make I am getting the following error text:

/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -g -O0
-c -o ltdl.lo ltdl.c
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -g -O0 -c ltdl.c -fPIC -DPIC
-o .libs/ltdl.o
ltdl.c: In function `argzize_path':
ltdl.c:2613: error: `ENOMEM' undeclared (first use in this function)
ltdl.c:2613: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
ltdl.c:2613: error: for each function it appears in.)

grep as I might, I cannot find a file that #defines ENOMEM. On a Debian Sid
system I find it defined in /usr/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h That
file does not exist on this Slackware 10.2 system which has been upgraded
to the latest 10.2 packages.

The odd thing is that I had successfully compiled this program a couple of
months back so I'm not sure when things broke.

Thanks!

Okay, here is the content of that file:

#ifndef _I386_ERRNO_H
#define _I386_ERRNO_H

#include <asm-generic/errno.h>

#endif


I'm missing the directory of /usr/include/asm-generic entirely. :-/

Also, I have kernel 2.4.31 installed. Did all this change with a new kernel
version? Looking in /usr/src/linux/include/asm the errno.h seems to be the
file I need as ENOMEM is #defined there.

That's not correct.

Try:
ls -ld /usr/include/linux /usr/include/asm-i386 /usr/include/asm

It should output something like this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jan 30 2006 /usr/include/asm -> asm-i386
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 4 2005 /usr/include/asm-i386
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 12288 Jun 6 2005 /usr/include/linux

asm-i386 and linux are directories and asm is a link to asm-i386

On the other hand, this would not be correct:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Sep 22 14:39 /usr/include/asm -> /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Sep 22 14:39 /usr/include/linux -> /usr/src/linux/include/linux

where asm and linux are links to kernel source. If you have that then remove
the links:

rm /usr/include/asm /usr/include/linux

and after that (or in any case) get the correct kernel-headers package
(kernel-headers-2.4.31-i386-1.tgz) from the cdrom or from any slackware
mirror site and reinstall it:

upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new kernel-headers-2.4.31-i386-1.tgz

Odd. On my system, /usr/include/asm-i386/errno.h looks like this:
#ifndef _I386_ERRNO_H
#define _I386_ERRNO_H

#define EPERM 1 /* Operation not permitted */
#define ENOENT 2 /* No such file or directory */
#define ESRCH 3 /* No such process */
#define EINTR 4 /* Interrupted system call */
#define EIO 5 /* I/O error */
#define ENXIO 6 /* No such device or address */
#define E2BIG 7 /* Argument list too long */
#define ENOEXEC 8 /* Exec format error */
#define EBADF 9 /* Bad file number */
#define ECHILD 10 /* No child processes */
#define EAGAIN 11 /* Try again */
#define ENOMEM 12 /* Out of memory */

<snip many additional #defines>

#define ENOMEDIUM 123 /* No medium found */
#define EMEDIUMTYPE 124 /* Wrong medium type */
#endif

As am I. I suspect that's not the problem.

The in the original 10.2 kernel headers package for
2.4.31, /usr/include/asm-i386/errno.h is exactly the same as the one I show
above. Mayber you need to reinstall the kernel headers package?

I punted and reinstalled 10.2 after figuring that doing updates from a
Slackware repository other than PV's probably wasn't a good thing. All is
well now as I think a glibc update wiped everything out expecting a 2.6
kernel install to supply those files.

I've got another partition to try 11.0 on when it becomes final.

Thanks for the replies.

At this stage of the game I'd have installed slack-current

Try it now, report any problems to Pat V? I've done five boxen last week
or two, nothing blew up Most were bare metal installs, the firewall is
an upgrade to -current from 10.2 done over several months, running 24/7
with very small downtime (minute or two each) due to reboots for new kernels.

What's a good way to do that without installing 10.2 first and trying to
upgrade?

I'm not sure what you ask. What I do is create a boot CD from the -current
mirror with:

grant@deltree:/home/mirror$ cat make-boot-cd
#!/bin/bash
#
# build a slackware boot cd, from isolinux/README.TXT
#
mkisofs -o /home/share/slackware.iso \
-R -J -V "Slackware Install" \
-x ./extra \
-x ./pasture \
-x ./source \
-x ./testing \
-x ./zipslack \
-x ./slackware/e \
-x ./slackware/gnome \
-x ./slackware/kde \
-x ./slackware/kdei \
-x ./slackware/t \
-x ./slackware/tcl \
-x ./slackware/xap \
-x ./slackware/x \
-x ./patches/source \
-hide-rr-moved \
-v -d -N -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
-sort isolinux/iso.sort \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin \
-c isolinux/isolinux.boot \
-A "Slackware Install CD" .

Called from say /home/mirror/slackware-current as ../make-boot-cd creates the
..iso image, burn that to CD then perform a network (NFS) install. You could
burn a DVD with entire image with:

grant@deltree:/home/mirror$ cat make-boot-dvd
#!/bin/bash
#
# build a slackware boot cd, from isolinux/README.TXT
#
mkisofs -o /home/share/slackware-dvd.iso \
-R -J -V "Slackware 10.2 Install" \
-hide-rr-moved \
-v -d -N -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 32 -boot-info-table \
-sort isolinux/iso.sort \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin \
-c isolinux/isolinux.boot \
-A "Slackware Install DVD" .

Otherwise you're stuck with trying to make a two or three CD set or downloading
unofficial .iso files from out there on the 'net.

Thank you. Something like that is what I was looking for. I'll give it a
try.
