Summary:                    GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION not found
Description: 
Hello,

I'm trying compile dahdi-tools-2.1.0.2 but I'm getting the following
problem in ./configure script.


checking for GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION in linux/hdlc.h... no
configure: GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION version 4 not found, disabling sethdlc.
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating build_tools/menuselect-deps
config.status: creating makeopts
configure: *** dahdi-tools build successfully configured ***


Without this the dahdi_tool isn't compiled.


I checked in my system that hdlc.h exists

find  /usr/include/linux -iname "*hdlc*"
/usr/include/linux/hdlc
/usr/include/linux/hdlcdrv.h
/usr/include/linux/hdlc.h


But the file that contain the variable GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION  defined is 
/usr/include/linux/hdlc/ioctl.h

grep GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION /usr/include/linux/hdlc/ioctl.h 
#define GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION 4	/* For synchronization with sethdlc utility
*/

to fix this temporally I comment the following lines in configure.ac

#AST_C_DEFINE_CHECK([HDLC], [GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION], [linux/hdlc.h], [4])

#if test "x${PBX_HDLC}" == "x1"; then
#   AC_EGREP_CPP([VERSION = 4],
#		[#include <linux/hdlc.h>
#		VERSION = GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION], [], [PBX_HDLC=0])
#fi

#if test "x${PBX_HDLC}" != "x1"; then
#   AC_MSG_NOTICE([GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION version 4 not found, disabling
sethdlc.])
#fi


Then the dahdi_tool compiled !

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
As of kernel version 2.6.19, GENERIC_HDLC_VERSION is defined in
include/linux/hdlc/ioctl.h

include/linux/hdlc.h now has:

  ...
#ifdef __KERNEL__

#include <linux/skbuff.h>
#include <linux/netdevice.h>
#include <linux/hdlc/ioctl.h>

  ...

That said, the package linux-libc-dev (userspace kernel headers,
/usr/include/linux and such) built from Debian's kernel 2.6.26 does include
include/linux/hdlc/ioctl.h .
