Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:56 EST
Description of problem: I want to recompile Anaconda (more specificly its loader app) to add a few customizations, but its source code refer to deprecated declaration like "START_ARRAY". Commenting out the source code only lead to other similar problems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fully updated Fedora Core 6 (2007.01.30) anaconda-11.1.1.3-1.i386.rpm anaconda-runtime-11.1.1.3-1.i386.rpm kernel-headers-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download and install anaconda-11.1.1.3-1.src.rpm 2. Download and install all required "devel" package like libdhcp-devel 3. Go to anaconda main source code directory and run make Actual results: isys.c: In function ‘doRaidStart’: isys.c:974: error: ‘START_ARRAY’ undeclared (first use in this function) isys.c:974: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once isys.c:974: error: for each function it appears in.) make[1]: *** [isys.lo] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/fedora/fc6/loader/anaconda-11.1.1.3/isys' make: *** [subdirs] Error 1 Notes: Its look like the "kernel-headers-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6" package, which contains the "/usr/include/linux/raid/md_u.h" defective file, is not up to date.

Anaconda changes a lot. If you want to rebuild it, patch it, etc, you need to either get the source from CVS or grab a source RPM from rawhide. We've fixed this problem (and you really don't need to report stuff like this).
