When i making coreutils, i receive that definition MB_MAX is worng.

So did other package..

In Util-linux :

CC libmount/src/libmount_la-monitor.lo
libmount/src/monitor.c: In function 'userspace_event_verify':
libmount/src/monitor.c:308:42: error: 'NAME_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'PATH_MAX'?
char buf[sizeof(struct inotify_event) + NAME_MAX + 1];
^~~~~~~~
PATH_MAX
libmount/src/monitor.c:308:42: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
libmount/src/monitor.c:308:7: warning: unused variable 'buf' [-Wunused-variable]
char buf[sizeof(struct inotify_event) + NAME_MAX + 1];



In Udev :

fileio.c: In function 'read_one_line_file':
fileio.c:60:16: error: 'LINE_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'LINK_MAX'?
char t[LINE_MAX], *c;
^~~~~~~~
LINK_MAX
fileio.c:60:16: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
fileio.c: In function 'read_full_stream':
fileio.c:97:13: error: 'LINE_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'LINK_MAX'?
n = LINE_MAX;
^~~~~~~~
LINK_MAX


I think that definition related with limts.h are going wrong..

Please help me

Greetings,

Well, from my installation here on Gentoo, only NAME_MAX shows up in /usr/include/linux/limits.h. The other two aren't in my limits.h file, so while you can check and make sure that you have the necessary linux-headers package for your distro, I don't think that is your overall problem.

Did you upgrade any part of your toolchain recently?

How can i fix it? i tried to add "#define MB_MAX" on limits.h file directly and saved, but it's not working.

I wonder what package is straightforward answer. I don't think that simply modifying limits.h can solve the problem.

What package can solve the problem? Which package have relation with limits.h? e.g. recompiling glibc or ncurses



Sorry for my poor english

Greetings again,

Well, limits.h is one of the files from the linux-headers package, but as I said above, I am not sure that is your problem. It might be, and you can rebuild the linux-headers package to make sure.

But, if you are having issues building many of the basic packages like coreutils, util-linux and udev, I am starting to wonder about the stability of your toolchain. You may want to boot the system with your LiveCD/DVD again and try rebuilding your toolchain by going over Chapter 5 in the LFS book again.

Just a suggestion...

HTH. Let us know.
