I'm still seeing this error (tested with util-linux-2.30-rc2-16-2ac1b on

Ah, I had another issues with ncurses on debian, so I forget to very
this one. Fixed now (I hope).
Thanks, works now (tested with Debian 8.1, 7.6, Ubuntu 16.04, 15.04,
14.04).
On alpine-linux, the compilation now fails with:
So, now the header file <linux/version.h> is required by ./configure
on Linux. I guess it's not overkill.
Yes, works well and the error message is clear.
Adding linux-headers with `sudo apk add linux-headers` solves the issue.
Now that it builds on alpine-linux, two other issues (not necessarily
show-stoppers for the release):
1.
The test infrastrucutre uses some GNU extensions which aren't
available by default on Alpine-Linux (it has busybox instead of GNU
coreuils). Specifically: ./tests/run.sh uses `#!/bin/bash`, `xargs -P`
and `grep --after-context=1` .
The `grep` at least is easy to fix as busybox's grep supports the
short-option equivalent of `-A1`.
As a work-around, the GNU programs can be installed on alpine with:
sudo apk add findutils bash grep
2.
After installing the gnu programs `make check` works, but few tests
fail:
============
col: multibyte input ... FAILED (col/multibyte)
colcrt: regressions ...
: crash1 ... FAILED (colcrt/regressions-crash1)
: crash2 ... FAILED (colcrt/regressions-crash2)
: hang1 ... FAILED (colcrt/regressions-hang1)

misc: swaplabel ... FAILED (misc/swaplabel)
rename: exit codes ... FAILED (rename/exit_codes)
utmp: subsecond ... FAILED (utmp/utmpdump-subsecond)
==============
Regarding the 'multibyte' failures - these could stem from musl-libc's differences
(compared to glibc).
'utmp' failure might be because musl-libc does not implement utmp support (only stubs).
I'm happy to test further if you have specific suggestions of what to test.
-----
Lastly,
I've hit a snag when trying to run 'make dist' on the latest version.
make failed with:
===
make[5]: Entering directory `/localdata2/sources/util-linux/po'
File da.new.po does not exist. If you are a translator, you can create it through 'msginit'.
make[5]: *** [da.new.po-create] Error 1
make[5]: Leaving directory `/localdata2/sources/util-linux/po'
===
I have no clue when this is coming from (it didn't fail on in previous builds).
Could be a problem on my system, or something else. Didn't investigate further
(just manually removed 'da.new.*' from po/Makefile).
regards,
- assaf
