Hi guys!
When trying to compile gentoo-sources-3.13.0, I get the following error.
I did an "make oldconfig" as always, so I wonder why exactly does it fail?

Code: Select all

drivers/video/console/fbcon.c: In function 'fbcon_clear_margins':
drivers/video/console/fbcon.c:1319:20: warning: unused variable 'ops' [-Wunused-variable]

Ahh, so it means waiting and resync?!

I am not quite sure...

Its strange a bit, cause its not extravagant to compile with [-Werror=strict-prototypes].. So whether the kernel-source was not strict enough at anytime before and this was fixed by the patch-set on gentoo-sources in generally, which may be missed in this release somehow, or i don't know at all... :-/

so... i guess – patch it at your own or wait..

The question which i might take is -> Should this be filed as a build-bug?

For what I can see at Bugzilla, there hasn't been a report yet.
I think I will just wait for the .1 release probably.

Nice, thanks! It works now.
What's strange: even the nvidia-drivers compile well, I get "failed to load module nvidia" at boot time.
