[PATCH 0/2] virtio tools: build failure

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

Hi,

This is actually a bug report.  As you can see, I tried fixing the
build but failed.  The problem is that the vringh_test target was
added by:

  1515c5c (tools/virtio: add vring_test, 2013-03-20)

but then

  f558a84 (Add missing module license tag to vring helpers, 2013-05-03)

broke the build by adding a MODULE_LICENSE that is undefined for the
purposes of virtio tools.  I tried moving the definition of
MODULE_LICENSE from virtio.h to module.h, but then the build failed
with multiple __MODULE_LICENSE_name declarations.  After trying
several things, I decided to revert f558a84: that builds vringh
successfully.  Unfortunately, vhost_test doesn't build with tons of
errors:

I just gave up trying to fix the build, and thought I should atleast
submit a bug report.  Maybe I'm missing something?

Thanks.
