Compile error on Debian Etch

[dave]

I've got a slightly retro production environment (debian etch) and
have hit a compile error as follows:

~/kr-beanstalkd-ee15c12# make
make all-am
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/kr-beanstalkd-ee15c12'
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -g -O2 -Wall -Werror -I/usr/local/include
-c -o binlog.o binlog.c
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
binlog.c: In function ‘binlog_open’:
binlog.c:351: warning: implicit declaration of function
‘posix_fallocate’
make[1]: *** [binlog.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/kr-beanstalkd-ee15c12'
make: *** [all] Error 2

That said posix_fallocate is clearly present in /usr/include/fcntl.h
so I'm not sure why this is happening.

I also note that if I try using a different include path (to where I
know fcntl.h is located) I still get the same error:

~/kr-beanstalkd-ee15c12# gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -g -O2 -Wall -
Werror -I/usr/include -c -o binlog.o binlog.c
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
binlog.c: In function ‘binlog_open’:
binlog.c:351: warning: implicit declaration of function
‘posix_fallocate’

any ideas ?

I'm having this same issue on RHEL 4 server. Were you able to find a
solution?

I'm still looking into it.. however:

At the point of failure :

# make
make all-am
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/beanstalkd-1.4.2'

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -g -O2 -Wall -Werror -I/usr/local/include

-c -o beanstalkd.o beanstalkd.c

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -g -O2 -Wall -Werror -I/usr/local/include
-c -o binlog.o binlog.c
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
binlog.c: In function ‘binlog_open’:
binlog.c:351: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘posix_fallocate’
make[1]: *** [binlog.o] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/beanstalkd-1.4.2'

make: *** [all] Error 2

I note that the following can then be used to compile `binlog.o`:

# gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -c -o binlog.o binlog.c

I can then run `make` again to complete the build successfully, and
the resulting beanstalkd _appears_ to work.

This comes with a massive 'watch out' and YMMV. While it seems like
the failure might be spurious, I'm not yet satisfied that the
resulting build is fully functional.

Hey Dave,

Thanks for the update. I went ahead and tried an install on one our
newer servers running RHEL 5 and everything worked fine so I'll likely
just upgrade the other server as it's something that's been on our
list to do anyhow. Good luck with this one!

This looks like maybe posix_fallocate is defined in a different header
file. Can you give me the #includes from "man posix_fallocate" on
Etch?

This is an okay workaround. Undeclared functions implicitly have a
return type of int, which happens to be correct here.

It is probably fine. You can test it with "make check", as long as
netcat feels like playing nice.
