Re: Compile Errors

Hi,

I configured with,

autoreconf -i -f -s
/configure --enable-maintainer-mode --prefix=/home/ayan/l4

and the make failed with,

if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..  -I../include -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 
-I./pthread -I../libc-parts -I./sysdeps/l4/hurd/ia32 -I./sysdeps/l4/ia32

-MD -MP -MF ".deps/pt-timedblock.Tpo" -c -o pt-timedblock.o 
./sysdeps/l4/pt-timedblock.c; \
then mv -f ".deps/pt-timedblock.Tpo" ".deps/pt-timedblock.Po"; else rm 
-f ".deps/pt-timedblock.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

make[2]: *** [pt-timedblock.o] Error 1

I did a grep clockid_t /usr/include/* -r, and found some definitions for 
 _clockid_t but not for clockid_t anywhere (nor #defines that defined 
clockid_t to be _clockid_t).

A "typedef int clockthread_t;" in hurd-l4/include/pthread/pthread.h 
seems to have fixed everything and the build worked (i still have to try 
booting it with qemu), but I'm not sure why that was required though. I 
guess this still qualifies as a bug-report :)

Thanks,
