build: further fixes for broken if_bridge.h
Commit c308a9ae was incomplete; it resolved the configure failure,
but not a later build failure.
* src/util/virnetdevbridge.c: Include pre-req header.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Prefer standard in.h over
non-standard ip6.h.
(cherry picked from commit 1bf661caf4e926efcad6e85151a587cea5fd29f4)

build: work around broken kernel header
I got this scary warning during ./configure on rawhide:
checking linux/if_bridge.h usability... no
checking linux/if_bridge.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: linux/if_bridge.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: linux/if_bridge.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: linux/if_bridge.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: linux/if_bridge.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: linux/if_bridge.h: proceeding with the compiler's result
configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------- ##
configure: WARNING: ## Report this to libvir-list ##
configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------- ##
checking for linux/if_bridge.h... no
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Provide struct in6_addr, since
linux/if_bridge.h uses it without declaring it.
(cherry picked from commit c308a9ae153db619fc0366bad9fd8f6c49cfac58)
Backported those to v0.9.11-maint (In reply to comment #3) > Backported those to v0.9.11-maint They were _already on_ v0.9.11-maint; now the branch looks weird because of doubled-up backports with a triple cherry-picked-from message in the second version of the backport. Is it worth trying to rewind the branch to avoid confusion? Argh sorry, I sure screwed that one up. I pushed revert commits. libvirt-0.9.11.10-1.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libvirt-0.9.11.10-1.fc17 Package libvirt-0.9.11.10-1.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing libvirt-0.9.11.10-1.fc17' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-10803/libvirt-0.9.11.10-1.fc17 then log in and leave karma (feedback). libvirt-0.9.11.10-1.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Description of problem: trying to rebuild rpm for libvirt-0.9.11.9-1.fc17 ./configure fails because it fails this check dnl dnl check for kernel headers required by src/bridge.c dnl if test "$with_qemu" = "yes" || test "$with_lxc" = "yes" ; then AC_CHECK_HEADERS([linux/param.h linux/sockios.h linux/if_bridge.h linux/if_tun.h],, AC_MSG_ERROR([You must install kernel-headers in order to compile libvirt with QEMU or LXC support])) fi The check fails because the kernel-headers package was updated with a new if_bridge.h that is incompatible somehow with libvirt's checks. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.9.11.9-1.fc17 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum update to latest 3.8.8-100 kernel and kernel-headers 2. yumdownloader --source libvirt 3. rpmbuild --rebuild libvirt*.src.rpm Actual results: configure pass fails in rpmbuild Expected results: fedora packages should be buildable with stock fedora toolchain and packages.
