--- Begin Message --- Subject: struct rusage redefinition issues on ppc - gnu time-1.7 Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2013 15:02:25 +0530 Hi.
I am trying to compile Gnu time 1.7 for a PowerPC system using the windriver build system which is based on yocto.

The build fails with an error at resuse.h:44:error: redefinition of 'struct rusage'.

On searching the internet found  Benoit Sibaud was facing a same problem on sparc. He commented out system definition for struct rusage and it worked for him. For me however it doesn't work. On doing that it fails to link the various object files viz. time.o getopt.o error.o resuse.o and version.o.

On another thread here, Jim McMaster was also facing a similar issue while building it for Solaris.  Paul Eggert suggested him to define HAVE_WAIT3 in the Makefile. I've tried that too but it fails as well. And its again while linking the aforementioned object files.

Please help me in getting this fixed. Where do I check for the build logs in detail. As what exactly is causing the linking to fail? It is failing with an errors of the sort 'crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory'. These are link time errors right? At times I've seen people saying they signify a corrupted libc. However when I manually search for it in my Sysroot, I see it.

I am confused. Please elaborate. Keen to hear.
