CVS version compilation problem

["Thiago Bauermann" <thiago bauermann gmail com>]

Hi folks,

I was trying to compile the latest NetworkManager from CVS and got the error below (even using wireless-tools 29-pre10).

if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I../include -I../src/named-manager -I../src/vpn-manager -I../src/dhcp-manager -I../utils -I../libnm-util -I/usr/include/dbus-

        then mv -f ".deps/NetworkManager-nm-device-802-3-ethernet.Tpo" ".deps/NetworkManager-nm-device-802-3-ethernet.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/NetworkManager-nm-device-802-3-ethernet.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

The problem seems to be that you can't include <linux/mii.h> if you already include <net/if.h> (which is done by <iwlib.h>).

I just had to add the following line to src/NetworkManagerUtils.h (which includes <
iwlib.h>) and the compilation succeeded:

#define HEADERS_KERNEL 1

Now <iwlib.h> includes <linux/if.h> instead of <net/if.h> and no redefinition arises.
