build dependency missing in 0.6.4-6ubuntu2: recent header files necessary.

[Fionn]

Binary package hint: network-manager

At compile time, the file nm-netlink-monitor.c tries to include <linux/if_addr.h>

At least in my version of linux-libc-dev (2.6.17.1-11.35) the file was not included. apt-get build-dep had no complaints though.It might be appropriate to include something like this in the source package:

Build-Depends: linux-libc-dev (>= 2.6.20)

or whichever version had this file first.

Addendum: Since the include is entirely not required on older systems it might be the best option to #ifdef it out, depending on the contents of <linux/version.h>

I created a patch file which may be used to directly replace debian/patches/16_undefined_macros.patch and which fixes the issue for me.

Someone please just check which kernel had "if_addr.h" first and adjust the version number in the #if statement accordingly.

Thank you.

Hi Fionn, does Gutsy have the same build problem?

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

If this is still an issue for you with latest gutsy network-manager, please reopen.
