[oe] need help: cdrkit & bitifields

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a package for cdrkit (recipe attached), but I am
kind a stuck.
The ported version does communicate to an USB DVD writer, but does not
recognize the type, whereas the same drive is recognized under
opensuse.

The data I get from the inquiry command ( wodim -inq -v -V ) is
initially the same but the result of inquiry is interpreted
differently.

I've tracked it down to the following:
in ./include/usal/scsireg.h it says:

struct  scsi_inquiry {
        Ucbit   type            : 5;    /*  0 */
        Ucbit   qualifier       : 3;    /*  0 */

        Ucbit   type_modifier   : 7;    /*  1 */
        Ucbit   removable       : 1;    /*  1 */

        Ucbit   ansi_version    : 3;    /*  2 */
        Ucbit   ecma_version    : 3;    /*  2 */
...
Ucbit is an unsigned char

In wodim/scsi_cdr.c function getdev a pointer is made to the data that
are read from the drive:
        register struct scsi_inquiry *inq = usalp->inq;

The type is in the first byte, which for my drive is 0x05
on opensuse this gives a type of 0x5, and a qualifier of 0 and on my
beagleboard it gives a type of 0 and a qualifier of 5.
Apparently bitfields are orderd differently.
How can this be fixed?
