Hi. I have run into a problem compiling dahdi-linux in kernel
6.1.0-10. Apparently there was a change, so I found a patch to fix stdbool.h but now I have an implicit declaration of pci_alloc_consistent in drivers/dahdi/wct4xxp/base.c I don’t see any other references to that name anywhere. I am using version from git
5c840cf43838e0690873e73409491c392333b3b8 .

So, the question, how to fix, so I can get the tompile to work?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

  • The problem here is that Sangoma has not been keeping DAHDI Linux in the mainline tree up to date with Linux kernel changes. It’s a couple years behind at this point. There are plans to get this fixed soon, hopefully
    (by soon, within a couple months, optimistically), but in the meantime you shouldn’t expect the official Sangoma tarballs to compile successfully at all, at least on their own.

    There is an umerged PR[1] up on the repo that should address this particular issue. A number of DAHDI developers have also been maintaining DAHDI out of tree so that it can compile. You can check out PhreakScript[2] which will install DAHDI for you with all the necessary patches to fix a large number of compilation issues.
