I'm currently having issues with gnulib trying to package licenseutils on GuixSD: fseterr.c: In function ‘fseterr’: fseterr.c:77:3: error: #error "Please port gnulib fseterr.c to your platform! Look at the definitions of ferror and clearerr on your system, then report this to bug-gnulib." 77 | #error "Please port gnulib fseterr.c to your platform! Look at the definitions of ferror and clearerr on your system, then report this to bug-gnulib." | ^~~~~
I haven't found many other sources on this issue, and the ones I have are on specific projects and don't apply currently. Looking at fseterr itself I found the following: #if defined _IO_EOF_SEEN || defined _IO_ftrylockfile || __GNU_LIBRARY__ == 1 /* GNU libc, BeOS, Haiku, Linux libc5 */ ... #else #error "Please port gnulib fseterr.c to your platform! Look at the definitions of ferror and clearerr on your system, then report this to bug-gnulib." #endif I am currently using glibc, and am confused why __GNU_LIBRARY__ would not be equal to 1. To add to my confusion the following C program: #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { printf("%d\n", _IO_EOF_SEEN); printf("%d\n", __GNU_LIBRARY__); return 0; } outputs this when compiled: 16 6 meaning that _IO_EOF_SEEN *is* in fact defined (I later checked if it was a macro or not by trying to redefine it, which gave me a compiler error. I am using GCC.)
