I downloaded an application (mfs-tools) which I am trying to compile on my Debian "Lenny" system, but the make is failing with the following errors:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../include -I../include -g -O2 -MT readwrite.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/readwrite.Tpo -c -o readwrite.o readwrite.c readwrite.c: In function 'tivo_partition_read': readwrite.c:146: error: 'off64_t' undeclared (first use in this function) readwrite.c:146: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once readwrite.c:146: error: for each function it appears in.) readwrite.c:146: error: expected ')' before 'sector' readwrite.c:146: error: expected ')' before 'sector' readwrite.c: In function 'tivo_partition_write': readwrite.c:261: error: 'off64_t' undeclared (first use in this function) readwrite.c:261: error: expected ')' before 'sector' readwrite.c:261: error: expected ')' before 'sector' make[1]: *** [readwrite.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/downloads/software/mfstools-src/lib' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 I've searched for the error, and I found some background information, but no clear suggestions on how to resolve the issue. I submitted the issue to some Usenet groups, and one of the respondents suggested I report the issue here. Clearly, the off64_t type is not defined in any of the headers. I have glibc-source installed, and it looks to me like the type may be defined there, but the make is not seeing it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
