Hi, I'm getting some strange failures running "tools/buildall.sh" on a clean git clone from the latest (2011-02-22) master repository.
Specifically: - Building the Packages for "kernel" and "kmodules" - Building the Source and Package for "iscsi" - Building the Packages for "initrd" All are related to the same problem. For some reason the kernel build is writing the results into directories called e.g. "2.6.35.10-geode-g8373740" rather than simply "2.6.35.10-geode" and attempts to copy files from the "expected" locations do not work. The same -g8373740 suffix is applied to the i486, i686 and geode variants. I notice that UTS_RELEASE and kernel.release are being defined with the suffix. For example: $ cd leaf/bering-uclibc4/buildtool/source/linux/ $ cat linux-geode/include/generated/utsrelease.h #define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.35.10-geode-g8373740" $ cat include/config/kernel.release 2.6.35.10-geode-g8373740 Surely that's not right... Typical. While composing this email I solve the problem myself. Oh well, let me finish this so we have a record in the email archive. File kernel.release is generated from Makefile by running script linux-2.6.35.10/scripts/scripts/setlocalversion which has comments: # This scripts adds local version information from the version # control systems git, mercurial (hg) and subversion (svn). That script runs this git command: $ git rev-parse --verify --short HEAD which sure enough says: 8373740 The "-g" is added by the script to show that it is a Git version number. This behaviour can be suppressed by a change to the kernel .config. Right now we have: CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y and changing this to # CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not set seems to fix it for me. I propose to do another clean build to check for any side-effects and if all is successful commit the change to the kernel .config. davidMbrooke ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
