[Bug 1739300] Re: The header files fcntl.h and linux/fcntl.h are incompatible

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

>packages linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev (..) these are not packages in
ubuntu?!

They are, but they are part of the linux and glibc source packages,
respectively. Marked both these as affected now. :)


When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. That will add the report in the right place and also include additional information like version numbers automatically. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

Bug description:
  The program try.c, below, does not compile.
  Though with HAVE_ARCH_STRUCT_FLOCK and HAVE_ARCH_STRUCT_FLOCK64 defined, it compiles.
  But then fails again to compile, when _GNU_SOURCE is also defined.
  I expect this to compile in all three cases.

  $ cat try.c
  //#define _GNU_SOURCE
  //#define HAVE_ARCH_STRUCT_FLOCK
  //#define HAVE_ARCH_STRUCT_FLOCK64
  #include <fcntl.h>
  #include <linux/fcntl.h>
  int main(int argc, char *argv[]){}
