Problems compiling hwsetup from source

**Fang** · 09-25-2003, 09:08 AM

Thanks to Stephen's help, I managed to obtain the sources for hwsetup from http://developer.linuxtag.net/knoppix/sources/. I untarred them, then installed the debian package for kudzu-dev. However, when I try to compile hwsetup, I receive the following errors:

Code:

[root@bog hwsetup-1.0]# make
gcc -I/usr/include/kudzu -DBLACKLIST -Wall -fPIC -O2 -s -o hwsetup hwsetup.c -lkudzu -lpci
hwsetup.c: In function `startwheel':
hwsetup.c:86: warning: implicit declaration of function `exit'
hwsetup.c: In function `hw_info':
hwsetup.c:264: error: structure has no member named `type'
hwsetup.c: In function `writeconfig':
hwsetup.c:437: error: structure has no member named `type'
hwsetup.c: In function `hw_setup':
hwsetup.c:514: error: structure has no member named `type'
make: *** [hwsetup] Error 1
[root@bog hwsetup-1.0]#

I checked to make sure that /usr/include/kudzu is there:

Code:

[root@bog hwsetup-1.0]# ls /usr/include/kudzu/
ddc.h     isapnp.h    misc.h      pci.h        sbus.h    usb.h
device.h  keyboard.h  modules.h   pciserial.h  scsi.h
ide.h     kudzu.h     parallel.h  psaux.h      serial.h
[root@bog hwsetup-1.0]#

It was my understanding that all hwsetup depended on was kudzu-dev, but it looks like this is not the case. Has anyone else run into this problem before? If so, what is the solution?

What version of gcc are you using? Knoppix is compiled (well the kernel anyway, not sure about the rest) with gcc-2.95

I'm using gcc 2.95.

Bumping.

Surely someone has compiled hwsetup, either successfully or with the errors I've seen.

I did. The problem is the version of kudzu libraries you are using. hwsetup is incompatible with kudzu-libs >0.99

You must adapt hwsetup to the new version of kudzu-libs or use the apropiate version of kudzu libs, or contact me at neuralgya@users.berlios.de and a I'll send you my modified version.

The problem:

<pre>
hwsetup.c: In function `hw_info':
hwsetup.c:251: structure has no member named `class'
hwsetup.c: In function `writeconfig':
hwsetup.c:411: structure has no member named `class'
hwsetup.c: In function `hw_setup':
hwsetup.c:488: structure has no member named `class'
make: *** [hwsetup] Error 1
</pre>

The solution;

Just replace 'class' by 'type' in that lines. That's all;

Hi, @ll

does anyone of you have the latest source code of hwsetup? Like hwsetup-1.0-13?

Sourcecode of current source tree (1.0-9) doesnt work for me.

Thx.

do ls -l /usr/lib/libkudzu.a to get its size. I was not able to link hwsetup.o to a stripped libkudzu.a . It took me a long time to discover this.
An unstripped (and therefore sane) libkudzu.a is over 800 KB.

I am also looking for hwsetup-1.0-13 source. If it were not of that partitions crash, I would have mirrored it.
