Subject: redefinition of 'struct iphdr' - netinet/ip.h vs linux/ip.h
Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2020 22:37:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <06d85c1ec9537fba479f9d02e938feeb7f623662.camel@alliedtelesis.co.nz> (raw)
Hi,
I have an application that wants to include both netinet/ip.h and
linux/if_tunnel.h.
As of kernel headers versions newer than v4.8 the application fails to
compile with the following error
make[1]: Entering directory 'compile-test'
CC compile-test.o
In file included from /usr/include/linux/if_tunnel.h:7,
from compile-test.c:3:
/usr/include/linux/ip.h:86:8: error: redefinition of 'struct iphdr'
struct iphdr {
^~~~~
In file included from compile-test.c:2:
/usr/include/netinet/ip.h:44:8: note: originally defined here
struct iphdr
^~~~~
make[1]: *** [Makefile:385: compile-test.o] Error 1
Looking at the linux commit commit 1fe8e0f074c7
("include/uapi/linux/if_tunnel.h: include linux/if.h, linux/ip.h and
linux/in6.h") I can see that the application was probably working by
luck.
Doing a bit of searching I can see various fixes with removing one of
the offending header files but this causes more problems for the
application in question.
Is there a way of making netinet/ip.h and linux/if_tunnel.h co-exist?
Thanks,
Chris Packham
