RE: artsd sound support



The error is in the config.log

configure:6529: conflicting types for `ioctl'
/usr/include/sys/ioctl.h:26: previous declaration of `ioctl'
configure: failed program was:
#line 6526 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

      #include <sys/ioctl.h>
          int ioctl(int d, int request,...);

int main() {


; return 0; }

ioctl is defined in the sys/ioctl.h as

int ioctl (int __fd, int __cmd, void *);

Can someone tell me why this would fail?  I'm not a expert programmer either but it looks basically correct to me.

Subject: artsd sound support


I started looking at artds support here is what I discoverd:

configured arts and discovered it required audiofile which I then 
downloaded, configured, compiled and installed it fine

configured arts again - this time it found audiofile so far so good.

ran make.  it died with:
/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. 
-I../..
/arts/mcop -I../../arts/flow       -I../../arts/flow 
-I../../arts/soundserver
    -I../../libltdl -I../../libltdl   
-DARTSC_BACKEND='"/usr/local/lib/libartscb
ackend.la"' -O2 -c artsdsp.c
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../arts/mcop -I../../arts/flow 
-I../../
arts/flow -I../../arts/soundserver -I../../libltdl -I../../libltdl 
-DARTSC_BACKE
ND=\"/usr/local/lib/libartscbackend.la\" -O2 -c artsdsp.c -o artsdsp.o
artsdsp.c:79: #error "unknown ioctl type (check config.h, adapt configure 
test).
.."
make[3]: *** [artsdsp.lo] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Administrator/arts-0.5.4'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

a simple check in the source found this:
#if defined(HAVE_IOCTL_INT_INT_DOTS)
typedef int ioctl_request_t;
#elif defined(HAVE_IOCTL_INT_ULONG_DOTS)
typedef unsigned long ioctl_request_t;
#elif defined(HAVE_IOCTL_INT_ULONGINT_DOTS)
typedef unsigned long int ioctl_request_t;
#else
#error "unknown ioctl type (check config.h, adapt configure test)..."
#endif

Since i'm really a windows programer not a linux programmer I have no idea 
what ioctl is.  Can someone here please guide me where to find
the solution for this?  BTW, I'll keep searching the net till I grasp the 
concept.
