[MPlayer-users] Bug compiling MPlayer

[Cédric Pellerin]

Hello,

This bug apply in 0.92, 1.0pre3 and cvs (today, Sat 7 Feb)
System used :
Linux Debian Sid with apt-get dist-ugrade just done. This means gcc 3.3.3 
20040110 (prerelease) (Debian) and libc6 2.3.2.
Kernel 2.4.24 compiled by myself
Platform AMD k7 1.2GHz, 768 Mo RAM

The bug I found is :
ldt_keeper.c: In function `Setup_LDT_Keeper':
ldt_keeper.c:175: error: storage size of `array' isn't known
ldt_keeper.c:208: error: invalid application of `sizeof' to an incomplete 
type

If I modify ldt_keeper.c by changing (line 27 in CVS version)
// 2.5.xx+ calls this user_desc:
#include <linux/version.h>
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,5,47)
#define modify_ldt_ldt_s user_desc
#endif

by
// 2.5.xx+ calls this user_desc:
#include <linux/version.h>
#if 0
#define modify_ldt_ldt_s user_desc
#endif

all compile well.

May be, 2.4.24 kernel does not report properly its version number ?

Thanks for your pretty good job.

Sincerely,

Cédric PELLERIN
