[kbuild-devel] Bug in kbuild-2.5-2.4.18-pre1-1

2002-01-29 Thread Rasmus Andersen

Hi.

I've created a 2.4.18p1+kbuild tree (clean 2.4.18p1 tree, 
apply kbuild-2.5-2.4.16-3.bz2, kbuild-2.5-2.4.17-1.bz2, 
kbuild-2.5-2.4.18-pre1-1.bz2) and copied in an old .config.
When I run 'make -f Makefile-2.5 oldconfig installable'
it loops in the oldconfig phase forever.


The tie-over of each iteration look like this:

*** End of Linux kernel configuration.
*** Check the top-level Makefile for additional configuration.
*** Next, you must run 'make dep'.

spec value %p not found
Using ARCH='i386' AS='as' LD='ld' CC='/usr/bin/kgcc' CPP='/usr/bin/kgcc -E' AR='ar' 
HOSTAS='as' HOSTLD='gcc' HOSTCC='gcc' HOSTAR='ar'
Generating global Makefile
  phase 1 (find all inputs)
#
# Using defaults found in .config
#


Any comments would be appreciated.

Re: [kbuild-devel] kbuild for linux 2.4.x

2002-01-29 Thread Brendan J Simon


Where can I find documentation on how to install/run/patch or whatever I 
have to do to get this working with the latest 2.4 kernel for a powerpc 
architecture.

I've downloaded kbuild-2.5-2.4.17-1.bz.  Is that all I need ???

Thanks,
Brendan Simon.

Anything from 2.4.16 onwards, with CML1 or CML2, take your pick.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=18813, under
Release 1.12 is the current kbuild 2.5 code.  It was developed against
2.4.16 onwards.

That patch contains the core code, the arch independent patches and the
arch/i386 code, all against 2.4.17.  The various architectures have add
on patches, the start of each add on patch tells you how to apply it.

For PPC you have a choice between kbuild-2.5-2.4.16-ppc-2 (which might
fit 2.4.17 as well) or kbuild-2.5-2.4.18-pre1-ppc-1, then you will need
kbuild-2.5-2.4.18-pre1-1 as well.

Tom, did you get anywhere with adding PPC bzImage support to kbuild 2.5?


OK.  I saw the instructions.  kbuild-2.5-2.4.17-1 says to patch against 
the linus-2.4.17 kernel where as kbuild-2.5-2.4.16-ppc-2 says to patch 
against the marcelo kernel.  I did a search on google and found 
Marcelo's directory of kernels.  Are these specially patched kernels for 
PPC or are they stock standard kernels.  They feel like stock standard 
kernels by looking at all the filenames.

Is it possible to patch against the ppc kernel tree from the penguinppc 
site (actually I have previousl got mine via rsync from the Monta Vista 
repository) ?

What about a stock standard kernel with a port patch ?  eg. on 
kernel.org there is a linux-2.4.15.tar.bz2 archive along with a 
linux-ppc-patch-2.4.15.bz2.  Unfortunately I can not find a 2.4.16 or 
2.4.17 patch yet :(

Thanks for any advice,
Regards,
Brendan Simon.

Marcelo is the official maintainer of 2.4 now.  He released both 2.4.16
and 2.4.17.  I'm not sure why someone would refer to the marcelo
kernel except as a synonym for standard kernel.

Works for me on the same sources.

make: `oldconfig' is up to date.

I don't like that 'spec value %p not found' message.  It looks like an
rpm or gcc error message.  Check that your source has no other patches.
If it is clean, run under script with
  make -d -f Makefile-2.5 KBUILD_QUIET= PP_MAKEFILE3_FLAGS=-v oldconfig installable
and send me (not the list) the typescript and .config output.

The 2.4.16 kbuild patch should have said Marcelo, not Linus.  I use
Linus/Marcelo/AC as a shorthand to tell people which of the 20+ kernel
trees the patch is against.  In particular Marcelo/Linus means the
standard kernel announced by those people, not a RedHat/Debian/whatever
patched kernel and not an architecture specific kernel.
