Re: [sisuite-users] Building SystemImager on CentOS 6.2?
Unfortunately no one has yet offered any advice for building SystemImager (trunk version) on CentOS 6.2. Out of desperation I tried to build the trunk version on the RHEL 5.8 server where we have used SystemImager 4.1.7 successfully for years. Again, the SI trunk version fails to build on RHEL 5.8 :-( The kernel configuration again asks a number of configuration questions, but I just choose the default values to proceed. Finally, the build process crashed at this stage: cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/initrd_source/src && tar -xvJf gzip-1.4.tar.xz tar: invalid option -- J Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information. make: *** [/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/initrd_source/src/gzip-1.4.unpack] Error 64 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.6420 (%build) The problem is the file gzip-1.4.tar.xz which can't be unpacked on RHEL5/CentOS5 because the tar command on such systems don't know the .xz type of compression (tar -J command). Could someone knowledgeable about the SI trunk kindly replace the gzip-1.4.tar.xz package by the similar gzip-1.4.tar.gz package and change the -J flag into -z ?

Re: [sisuite-users] Building SystemImager on CentOS 6.2?
More problems in building SystemImager on CentOS 6.2: Besides the kernel
reconfiguration issue (which may be innocent, perhaps?), the building of
parted 2.3 aborts on RHEL 6.2 during the configuration stage:
In /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/initrd_source/src/parted-2.3
the config.log shows:
# ./configure --disable-Werror --disable-shared --prefix=
...
checking for dm_task_create in -ldevmapper... no
configure: error: libdevmapper could not be found, but is required for the
--enable-device-mapper option, which is enabled by default. Either disable
device-mapper support with --disable-device-mapper or download and install
device-mapper from:
http://sources.redhat.com/dm/
Note: if you are using precompiled packages you will need the development
package as well (it may be called device-mapper-devel or something similar).
The /lib/libdevmapper.so.1.02 shared library does exist. But RHEL6 does
NOT have any package named device-mapper-devel or the like.
The check dm_task_create in -ldevmapper can be extracted from the
configure script:
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
#endif
char dm_task_create ();
int
main ()
{
return dm_task_create ();
;
return 0;
}
Compiling this on RHEL6 gives:
# gcc test.c -ldevmapper
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldevmapper
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I'm really confused: Why does this code break, while other people seem
to have built SystemImager (including parted) successfully on
RHEL6/CentOS6 ?
Thanks for sharing any insights,
Ole

I grabbed the missing linux_2.6.34.1.orig.tar.gz file now. Unfortunately the build process still asks unwarranted questions. This is what I did: 1. I have checked out SVN trunk revision 4568 from https://systemimager.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/systemimager/trunk 2. In the trunk/ directory I do: make source_tarball 3. Then I build it: cd tmp; rpmbuild -ta systemimager-4.3.0.tar.bz2 However, during the build process the kernel wants to be reconfigured: > + make all > rm -rf /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/src/linux-2.6.34.1 > Extracting kernel source...done > cp -a /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/patches/linux.x86_64.config > /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/src/linux-2.6.34.1/.config > perl -pi -e "s/^EXTRAVERSION =\s*(\S*)\s*\n/EXTRAVERSION = \1-boel_v4.3.0\n/" > /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/src/linux-2.6.34.1/Makefile > make -C /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/src/linux-2.6.34.1 oldconfig > make[1]: Entering directory > `/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/src/linux-2.6.34.1' > HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep > HOSTCC scripts/basic/docproc > HOSTCC scripts/basic/hash > HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o > HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/kxgettext.o > SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c > SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/lex.zconf.c > SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.hash.c > HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o > HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf > scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig > * > * Restart config... > * > * > * General setup > * > Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers (EXPERIMENTAL) [Y/n/?] y > Local version - append to kernel release (LOCALVERSION) [] > Automatically append version information to the version string > (LOCALVERSION_AUTO) [Y/n/?] y > Kernel compression mode >> 1.

I don't why I have to reconfigure the kernel whereas Olivier doesn't. FYI, my build host is RHEL6.2 (fully updated).

I've made a bit of progress towards building the SI RPMs on an RHEL6.2 server, but I didn't make it to the goal yet: 1. I copied the downloaded sources from /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/initrd_source/src/ to the permanent place /usr/src/. Strangely, today the correct e2fsprogs can be downloaded successfully (it was absent yesterday). 2. The next missing download is a kernel source file http://download.systemimager.org/pub/linux/linux_2.6.34.1.orig.tar.gz. So I grabbed a similar file from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ and renamed it with the .orig (probably a no-no!). The kernel.org version seems to build, but I had to answer a bunch of configure questions. 3. Next failure occurs when building parted-2.3: ... checking for dm_task_create in -ldevmapper... no configure: error: libdevmapper could not be found, but is required for the --enable-device-mapper option, which is enabled by default. Either disable device-mapper support with --disable-device-mapper or download and install device-mapper from: http://sources.redhat.com/dm/ FYI, our RHEL6.2 server does have the device-mapper 32- and 64-bit RPMs installed with /lib/libdevmapper.so.1.02. Question: Am I on the right track, or is there a better way to build the SI RPMs?
