           Summary: gpm-1.20.1 fails to build with >=kernel-2.6.23
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: Angstrom 2008.x
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

         Component: Build
        AssignedTo: openembedded-issues at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: c.romain at laposte.net


_Context_:
Building angstrom-2008.1 for qemux86 with packaged-staging2

_BuildLog_:

ERROR: TaskFailed event exception, aborting
NOTE: package gpm-1.20.1: Failed
NOTE: package gpm-1.20.1: failed

_Problem_:
As stated here
http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-support/2007-October/063848.html ,
OPEN_MAX has been removed from Linux 2.6.23.

_Solution_:
Apply the patch suggested in the above link.

_Note_:
I'm wondering why we didn't got that error until now though (kernel 2.6.23 and
gpm 1.20 are in OE and used since several months) ...
