Hi folks! I'd wish ntp_loopfilter.c would compile without problems. The mess is (I had fixed it about 15 years ago (keyword "PPSkit")) that Linux uses ADJ_* flags to do traditional adjtime() things, as well as NTP kernel-related things (That's why the Linux syscall is named adjtimex()). NTP however expects the flags to have names like MOD_* to modify settings, and STA_* for status bits to test.
When <sys/timex.h>lacks a MOD_NANO, but has a STA_NANO, compilation of ntpd/ntp_loopfilter.c fails. I'd wish this to be fixed. I don't know which "Bonehead weakener" is needed to get the fix permanently into Linux. My proposal many years ago was to use ADJ_* style flags only for the Linux specialities (the adjtime() part of adjtimex()), and use the MOD_* style flags for the NTP part of adjtimex(). Regards, Ulrich --- Appendix: Linux has only these: /* xntp 3.4 compatibility names */ #define MOD_OFFSET ADJ_OFFSET #define MOD_FREQUENCY ADJ_FREQUENCY #define MOD_MAXERROR ADJ_MAXERROR #define MOD_ESTERROR ADJ_ESTERROR #define MOD_STATUS ADJ_STATUS #define MOD_TIMECONST ADJ_TIMECONST #define MOD_CLKB ADJ_TICK #define MOD_CLKA ADJ_OFFSET_SINGLESHOT /* 0x8000 in original */
