errors occurred during building

I have encountered a error building from source code. Is my gcc version mismatched?

steps:

1.git clone ...
2. make

os : ubuntu16.04
gcc : 5.4.0

[haircommander]

interesting, this should have been fixed in #268
does your version have that commit?

I pulled the latest code.
seccomp version:

@giuseppe any ideas?

[giuseppe]

could you try to apply the following patch?

$ git diff
diff --git a/src/seccomp_notify.h b/src/seccomp_notify.h
index 9dda848..de1d441 100644
--- a/src/seccomp_notify.h

@giuseppe
After applying this patch, this error is still reported when compiling. It may be that there is a problem with my system environment, let me troubleshoot again.
Thank you very much.

[giuseppe]

this is what I get on Ubuntu 16.04:

# cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS \n \l

# grep -r SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF /usr/include/
/usr/include/seccomp.h:/* SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF was added in kernel v5.0. */
/usr/include/seccomp.h:#ifndef SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF
/usr/include/seccomp.h:#define SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF	0x7fc00000U

Altough we need this patch to address an issue when libseccomp is not installed:

[giuseppe]

can you show the output for # grep -r "seccomp_notif_resp" /usr/include/ ?

[giuseppe]

we could add a check for seccomp_notif_resp but since it is available in Ubuntu 16.04, I think it is easier if we understand what is going on there and why it doesn't exist for you. Have you updated the system?

My result :
cat /etc/issue :
Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS \n \l

grep -r "seccomp_notif_resp" /usr/include/

grep -r SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF /usr/include/

If it really doesn't work, I am going to upgrade the system to ubuntu18.04, I am a novice.
Thank you very much.

[giuseppe]

so seccomp_notif_resp is defined as part of /usr/include/seccomp.h.

Could you try adding #include <seccomp.h>to the seccomp_notify_plugin.h file?

Do I still use the patch above? Did I add this clause correctly?

[giuseppe]

seccomp_notif_sizes seems still missing.

What do you see with grep -r "seccomp_notif_sizes" /usr/include/?

Is your OS fully updated (did you run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade)?

The result is empty.

This error wastes too much of your time. I'm really sorry, I closed this question. It should be that the OS has not been completely updatedI .will upgrade the system again. Thank you very much.

[haircommander]

actually, it's likely you'll run into it on 18.04, as we need kernel 5.9 or greater for proper seccomp notify support. I think this should be fixed
