[Gluster-devel] libgfapi on ubuntu

[Bernhard Glomm]

I'm running ubuntu 13.10 and try recompile qemu as described here

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1224517

in order to test libgfapi.

unfortunately compiling failed with messages like this:

....

In file included from /usr/include/libfdt.h:55:0,

                 from /usr/src/rebuild-qemu/qemu-1.5.0+dfsg/device_tree.c:28:

/usr/include/fdt.h:58:2: error: unknown type name âfdt32_tâ

  fdt32_t magic; /* magic word FDT_MAGIC */

  ^

.....

this both files are causing the trouble:

 /usr/include/fdt.h and

 /usr/include/libfdt.h

I tried the qemu sources from "trusty" (ubuntu 14.04) 

with them make failes with:

...

dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

debuild: fatal error at line 1361:

....

anyone an idea how to proceed?

Since the above mentioned bug report is closed with "won't fix"

until there is a MIR filed for glusterfs I may ask

will that be done?

Otherwise how can I use libgfapi on an ubuntu system?

TIA
