Description:Hello,

I'm trying compile dahdi-tools-2.1.0.2 but I'm getting the following problem in ./configure script.


checking for GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION in linux/hdlc.h... no
configure: GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION version 4 not found, disabling sethdlc.
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating build_tools/menuselect-deps
config.status: creating makeopts
configure: *** dahdi-tools build successfully configured ***


Without this the dahdi_tool isn't compiled.


I checked in my system that hdlc.h exists

find  /usr/include/linux -iname "*hdlc*"
/usr/include/linux/hdlc
/usr/include/linux/hdlcdrv.h
/usr/include/linux/hdlc.h


But the file that contain the variable GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION  defined is
/usr/include/linux/hdlc/ioctl.h

grep GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION /usr/include/linux/hdlc/ioctl.h
#define GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION 4 /* For synchronization with sethdlc utility */

to fix this temporally I comment the following lines in configure.ac

#AST_C_DEFINE_CHECK([HDLC], [GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION], [linux/hdlc.h], [4])

#if test "x${PBX_HDLC}" == "x1"; then
#   AC_EGREP_CPP([VERSION = 4],
# [#include <linux/hdlc.h>
# VERSION = GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION], [], [PBX_HDLC=0])
#fi

#if test "x${PBX_HDLC}" != "x1"; then
#   AC_MSG_NOTICE([GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION version 4 not found, disabling sethdlc.])
#fi


Then the dahdi_tool compiled !

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

Details System

Sytem: OpenSuse-10.3
Kernel: 2.6.27.10
Comments:By: Tzafrir Cohen (tzafrir) 2008-12-31 13:26:57.000-0600

As of kernel version 2.6.19, GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION is defined in include/linux/hdlc/ioctl.h

include/linux/hdlc.h now has:

 ...
#ifdef __KERNEL__

#include <linux/skbuff.h>
#include <linux/netdevice.h>
#include <linux/hdlc/ioctl.h>

 ...

That said, the package linux-libc-dev (userspace kernel headers, /usr/include/linux and such) built from Debian's kernel 2.6.26 does include include/linux/hdlc/ioctl.h .

I was having a similar problem in gentoo linux.  dahdi-tools was configuring and all the tools were making ok except for dahdi_tool.  I was getting the same message about hdlc in the ./configure.

From the README inside the dahdi-tools source:

"- libnewt is needed to build the optional but useful utility dahdi_tool."

I installed dev-libs/newt and dahdi_tool compiled along with the rest of the tools.

The hdlc issue from the ./configure had no effect.

ccesario or jhammer,

Could one or both of you test the attached patch and see if it resolves your problem and report back the results?

Thank you!
