Description of problem: While trying to build the latest mythtv on RPM Fusion for rawhide I ran into the following issue: g++ -c -pipe -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -DPIC -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -fomit-frame-pointer -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -pthread -g -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -Wmissing-declarations -Wno-switch -Wredundant-decls -funit-at-a-time -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -DMMX -D_GNU_SOURCE -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/lib64/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I/usr/include/QtCore -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -I/usr -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I../../zeromq/include -I../../nzmqt/include/nzmqt -I../include -I. -I. -o parser.o parser.cpp In file included from /usr/include/alsa/asoundlib.h:49:0, from libavdevice/alsa-audio-common.c:31: /usr/include/alsa/pcm.h:944:1: error: unknown type name 'u_int8_t' /usr/include/alsa/pcm.h:945:1: error: unknown type name 'u_int16_t' /usr/include/alsa/pcm.h:946:1: error: unknown type name 'u_int32_t' /usr/include/alsa/pcm.h:947:1: error: unknown type name 'u_int64_t' In file included from /usr/include/alsa/asoundlib.h:49:0, from libavdevice/alsa-audio-common.c:31: /usr/include/alsa/pcm.h:1052:1: error: unknown type name 'int16_t' make[2]: *** [libavdevice/alsa-audio-common.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/builddir/build/BUILD/MythTV-mythtv-d2f9798/mythtv/external/FFmpeg' make[1]: *** [FFmpeg-all] Error 2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): alsa-lib-devel-1.0.26-1.fc19.x86_64 A mythtv dev suggested the following *might* be the fix. Since I build mythtv in mock/rpmbuild I don't think it's possible/practical to test this patch: --- /usr/include/alsa/asoundlib.h 2012-09-06 06:18:02.000000000 -0700 +++ asoundlib.h 2012-12-07 19:30:53.131751067 -0800 @@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> +#include <sys/types.h> #include <string.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <assert.h>
Created attachment 660967 [details] Git diff from master I have verified that the patch essentially works (I had to actually patch asoundlib-head.h)
Created attachment 660968 [details] Patch to asoundlib.h Attaching since I couldn't get it to show up in the git diff...
(In reply to comment #0) ..... > A mythtv dev suggested the following *might* be the fix. I believe the (root) cause is that stdlib.h no longer includes sys/types.h, and the alsa includes depend on the u_int... types being defined (which were being defined in sys/types.h, no longer included).
As it's been 10 days since the last comment on this bug I just wanted to ping you guys to see if anyone is working on a fix. I would think that breaking a program from building would be considered a serious, though not urgent, bug.
It appears that this has been addressed upstream http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=commit;h=3e7dc283ed2d3ed2341f0657811c588f4dbcba6d
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
