[Pvfs2-developers] ppc64 compile problems?

[Murali Vilayannur]

Hi Kyle,
Based on your pvfs2-config.h, clearly configure checks are busted :(
We have a #undef HAVE_XATTR which means we don't include linux/xattr.h..
Hence the build error.
I am afraid we won't be able to fix configure if the kbuild system on
ppc64 spews out needless warnings that will error out with -Werror.
BTW: Can you download vanilla 2.6 kernel and see if kbuild works
without warnings.

I don't think this is related to a recent change. It has been like
this for a long time.
pvfs2-utils.c is not generated. it is part of the kernel module source.
The duplication of the #defines in pvfs2-types.h might be a recent
thing though.
thanks,
Murali
