[Gambas-user] /usr/include/asm/byteorder.h syntax error building 1.9.36

[Jose J. Rodriguez]

I get syntax errors in /usr/include/asm/byteorder.h during make while
building 1.9.36. Kernel is 2.6.17.7, gcc is 3.3.4, on Vector Linux
5.1.2 SOHO.

Here is the ./configure used:

./configure -C --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
--with-kde-includes=/opt/kde/include --with-kde-libraries=/opt/kde/lib
--disable-v4l


Here is the relevant output at the end of the make process:

And here are the offending lines 14 and 28 of said file:

line 14: static __inline__ __attribute_const__ __u32 ___arch__swab32(__u32 x)
line 28: static __inline__ __attribute_const__ __u64 ___arch__swab64(__u64 val)


Hope that helps to narrow down the problem. Please let me know if any
other info is needed.
