You can use a crude hack to work around building wdctl:
$ touch sys-utils/wdctl.o wdctl ; make
but this won't make you happy. You'll most propably hit other
problems. This is from my SLES 10.4 system:
In file included from disk-utils/partx.h:5,
from disk-utils/partx.c:32:
/usr/include/linux/blkpg.h:36: error: expected ‘:’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘}’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘*’ token
In file included from disk-utils/partx.c:32:
disk-utils/partx.h: In function ‘partx_del_partition’:
disk-utils/partx.h:32: error: ‘struct blkpg_ioctl_arg’ has no member named ‘data’
disk-utils/partx.h: In function ‘partx_add_partition’:
disk-utils/partx.h:51: error: ‘struct blkpg_ioctl_arg’ has no member named ‘data’
disk-utils/partx.h: In function ‘partx_resize_partition’:
disk-utils/partx.h:70: error: ‘struct blkpg_ioctl_arg’ has no member named ‘data’
make[2]: *** [disk-utils/partx-partx.o] Error 1
Temporarily defining __user to nothing seems to work:
$ make CFLAGS='-D__user='
... although this is another bad workaround. ;-(
Have a nice day,
