Missing predefs.h during compiling sources

Today I compiled freerdp (www.freerdp.com) from the latest sources to connect to a rdp connection through a rdp-gateway.

Durring compilation I get the following error:

[  0%] Building C object winpr/libwinpr/CMakeFiles/winpr.dir/synch/address.c.o

It was clear that the problem must be anywhere around the libc6 libraries, but where 🙂

Remove and install of libc6-dev, build-essential and gcc-multilib doesn’t help. But after many hourse (no a joke after some minutes) I found it.

Here are the solution (yes it can be so easy):

apt-get install –reinstall libc6-dev

have a nice day

(This was all done under Ubuntu 14.04 amd64)
