 |

Just wanted to say that zaptel has also a problem with the changed kernel api in 2.6.16. I'm not very good in c/c++, can somebody fix this Problem?
| Code: | CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/zaptel-1.0.8/work/zaptel-1.0.8/tor2.o

seem to work if /var/tmp/portage/zaptel-1.0.8/work/zaptel-1.0.8/wcusb.c:1451 is commented out. But of course this is not a good solution. Would be nice to fix this issue in one of the next releases.

Does anyone have an answer to this ?
I tried commenting out that line but when you emerge it just replaces it
Is there a proper fix out there ? |

|

Since the 2.6.16 kernel, the structure usb_driver defined in ~linux/include/linux/usb.h has lost a field called "owner".
However the zaptel current version ( 1.0.8 ) is not up to date regarding this change.
From zaptel-1.0.8/wcusb.c :
| Code: |
static struct usb_driver wc_usb_driver =
{
#ifdef LINUX26
owner: THIS_MODULE,
#else
fops: NULL,
minor: 0,
#endif
name: "wcusb",
probe: wc_usb_probe,
disconnect: wc_usb_disconnect,
id_table: wc_dev_ids,
};
|
So if you are using a 2.6.16 kernel or above, zaptel will fail to compile.
This issue has been resolved in the zaptel 1.2 branch.
A workaround is to apply this patch :
| Code: |
==============================================================================
--- branches/1.2/wcusb.c (original)
+++ branches/1.2/wcusb.c Wed Jan 18 22:40:26 2006
@@ -1448,7 +1448,9 @@
static struct usb_driver wc_usb_driver =
{
#ifdef LINUX26
+#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,16)
owner: THIS_MODULE,
+#endif
#else
fops: NULL,
minor: 0,
|
or emerge a (masked) 1.2.* zaptel version.

Hi fblain
Thanks for that
But one question how do I emerge zaptel-1.2.6 as I cannot find it anywhere !
I found reference to it at http://packages.gentoo.org/packages/?category=net-misc;name=zaptel
but I cannot get it when I emerge zaptel-1.2.6
localhost ~ # emerge zaptel-1.2.6
Calculating dependencies
!!! 'zaptel-1.2.6' is not a valid package atom.
!!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details.
!!! (Did you specify a version but forget to prefix with '='?)
localhost ~ #
Read ebuild(5) but could not work it out

There is no ebuild for zaptel-1.2.6 for the moment.
Latest one is for 1.2.5
To emerge zaptel 1.2.5 :
| Code: |
echo "=net-misc/zaptel-1.2.5" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge net-misc/zaptel
|
However, I don't know why this package is masked.
If you are experiencing any problems, you should apply the patch.
To do this, after a failed emerge, go in /var/tmp/portage/zaptel-1.0.8/work/zaptel-1.0.8
and apply the patch on the file wcusb.c.
Then finish to merge the packet :
| Code: |
ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/zaptel/zaptel-1.0.8.ebuild compile install qmerge

Hi Fblain
I emerged 1.2.5 on my remote "test" system
That seemed to work fine
I will give it a try tomorrow
Thanks for the help

I just had this same problem, but by upgrading to the zaptel-1.0.10 package, it seems to be working now.
