Why is eventfd.h not available in DigiEL 5.7.2 for the 9M 2443 board, the kernel supports it, the include file is in /usr/local/DigiEL-5.7/kernel/linux-2.6.35/include/linux/
but adding that dir to the include path breaks compilation. what change need I make to use eventfd and not break the environment
regards
please provide more details on what are you are trying to build, how are you compiling and what errors you get
Hi, I am porting our message sign to Linux from WinCE. basically a SNMP server. I am compiling within the managed DigiEL IDE. I need to use eventfd() and including the header results in
…/main.cpp:33:27: warning: linux/eventfd.h: No such file or directory
looking for it in the toolchain folders /usr/local/DigiEL-5.7
marc@ubuntu:/usr/local/DigiEL-5.7$ find ./ | grep eventfd
./kernel/linux-2.6.35/virt/kvm/eventfd.c
./kernel/linux-2.6.35/include/linux/eventfd.h
./kernel/linux-2.6.35/fs/eventfd.c
./x-tools/arm-cortex_a8-linux-gnueabi/arm-cortex_a8-linux-gnueabi/sysroot/usr/include/sys/eventfd.h
So the support is in the kernel (and enabled) and the cortex_a8 toolchain but not with the 9M 2443. So my guess is that all be fine when we get to the MX53 board but we have many 2443 board left.
I have tried (not too sure if it was a good idea in the first place) including …/kernel/linux-2.6.35/include in the search path but then the list of error grows (not declare/redefined…)
after including a few headers…

I first tough this might this be a uClibc version problem but then the cortex_a8 toolchain seems to use the same…
Which leads to another ?.. is there any instruction on upgrading the toolchain to a newer version (uCLibc / gcc)
thanks
Well, dig dig…
Even though is in the project include path
this works
#include “/usr/local/DigiEL-5.7/x-tools/arm-cortex_a8-linux-gnueabi/arm-cortex_a8-linux-gnueabi/sysroot/usr/include/sys/eventfd.h”
this fails
#include
wondering what is missed here but in any case

>>>Even though is in the project include path
2443 is not cortex_a8 so you can’t use anything from that path. 2443 is ARM9 and uses arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
I did not include those path, DigiEl did… its under MyApp/includes ?
is it possible to update the toolchain?, uClibc version etc?
