Cross silo build for pure 64bit Sparc V9 broken

[David B]

I was cross-compilling silo for the Pure 64 bit boot method of the SVN book. This is the error I get.

[Joe Ciccone]

This is because of using newer kernel headers. Pushing off to after 1.1.0

[Jonathan]

I'll have a look into this as I will be building Pure64 Sparc over the next week or so. If it is to do with the kernel headers then a patch will be made. This issue may have been fixed in Silo 1.4.14.

[William Harrington]

For now we can use this for kernel headers >= 2.6.25 I ripped this change from Debian Perhaps include this at the end of a fixes-2.patch

Someone on the mailing list said that they were unable to compile Silo on Multilib too. They tried the git version of silo and that wouldn't compile either.

[Jonathan]

I compiled Silo 1.4.14 with the fixies-2 patch in chapter 7 using Git 20120206 sparc64-64 book today without any issues.

[William Harrington]

Cosmo has apparently fixed this. Verified in chat and closing this ticket.
