Description Cary Lewis 2014-10-03 12:49:31 UTC 
When compiling systemd under an Amazon linux AMI, the following errors occur:

 CC       src/libsystemd/sd-bus/libsystemd_la-bus-creds.lo
In file included from src/libsystemd/sd-bus/bus-message.h:31:0,
                 from src/libsystemd/sd-bus/bus-creds.c:28:
src/libsystemd/sd-bus/kdbus.h:45:2: error: unknown type name '__u64'
  __u64 id;

I tried including sys/types.h, etc, in the source files, but I can't get systemd to compile.
Comment 1 Zbigniew Jedrzejewski-Szmek 2014-10-03 13:09:35 UTC 
kdbus.h includes linux/types.h, which provides __u64. Try looking at 'gcc -E /usr/include/linux/types.h'.
Comment 2 Cary Lewis 2014-10-04 13:31:43 UTC 
Thanks for the suggestion. __u64 is defined in linux/types.h, but for whatever reason this file was not included.

I changed the Makefile and added an -include /usr/include/linux/types.h and I the compile no longer errors out.

I'm not sure what's so different about Amazon's Linux that this modification is required.
