Hi listmates, Can anyone tell me what this means? # make oldconfig HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep In file included from /usr/include/sys/socket.h:40, from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:25, from /usr/include/arpa/inet.h:23, from scripts/basic/fixdep.c:117: /usr/include/bits/socket.h:334:24: error: asm/socket.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1 make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2 I am trying to compile kernel 2.6.30 source obtained from openSuSE. I have downloaded and installed all the compilers, etc., that are suggested in the Package list 'Kernel Development' as well as the normal stuff in the Basic Development package. I am currently on a 11.1 machine with the latest updates (that I am aware of ).

In the include directory, you will find various 'asm-xxx' directories. Try making a sym link to the one you are compiling for e.g. ln -s ../asm-alpha ../asm This might or might not work. I haven't needed to compile a kernel in the last 3 years so I'm not to scratch with this stuff.

Ok, so you are in total thrash mode here, putting links all over the place where they don't belong. Its seriously time to consider a do-over. Un-install the sources clean up the directories and start again.

I removed each link after trying and receiving the failure. Either the link is being put in the wrong place, or the link I was trying to create was pointing to the wrong thing :(

Its seriously time to consider a do-over. Un-install the sources clean up the directories and start again.

First, is /usr/src/<kernel source files> the right path? 2nd, given the directory structure, what would the correct link be AND where should the link go, eg, the directory to create the link in?

I tried to find */asm/* with no results searching the entire 2.5TB on my raid as well as all of / (root) and NFS mounts. I have an assembler 'bin86' installed which supplies /bin/as86. I also have yasm installed which provides /bin/yasm. I can successfully compile stuff on my 10.3 machine but this was the first time I have tried on the 11.1 machine in my other room. As I want to upgrade the 10.3 machine soon, and as it has a 'Rocket Raid' controller, not supported directly by SuSE, I have to recompile it's driver and do a modprobe to install it, then a mkinitd to include it when I reboot. Without that module, I lose half of my 2.5 TB disk space. That machine has 9 drives on it, 4 on the RR controller and 5 on the MBd controller, 4 IDE and 1 SATA. Has worked well for years. I wanted to get another controller and expand my bedroom computer to 2.5TB from 1.0TB it has now. The RR controller works really well and if I can compile the driver, I will do the upgrade. Compiling the kernel is optional, but it gives me a chance to remove support for devices and other unneeded features. I normally start off with a 'make oldconfig' to get a file that has all the working options, then I can go through it and zap/change things and then compile the kernel, install it as an alternate, for testing, and if it works the way I want, then I can insert the RR driver and mkinitd it so when I reboot, if I have the new RR controller, my 2nd raidd will be online by the time it finishes rebooting, and with the smaller, but still funtional kernel. I just tried to 'make' a couple of small projects....all end with the same error. Removing the sources doesn't seem to be the answer. I just am at a loss as to *why* make wants to do anything with asm.sockets in the first place BEFORE doing anything other than creating a copy of the old configs in the existing kernel. It won't even do a 'make clean' without the error. I have tried to reinstall ALL software by reloading the RPMs and forceing the install and replacing whatever files it perceives as already installed. --- TIA Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You don't make that link. 'make *config / make prepare' do that for you. And there's also other stuff done in these targets.

All that should be in any howto about compiling a 2.6 kernel.

Yes, that's the way it works in 10.3, which works. In 11.1, it doesn't....even after a reinstall of all the packages. Thanks, Richard

You should have the 'asm', as that's linked in the postinstall scriptlet of linux-kernel-headers, and you've got that package installed.

Yes, that's why I'm so flustered. As far as I know, this machine is essentially configured the same as my 10.3 machine, which works. I routinely compile Kernels and drivers on that machine, but as I wanted to upgrade the 10.3 machines to 11.1 or higher, I figured I needed to ensure I could compile Kernels and driver modules (which I need absolutely due to an erstwhile unsupported hardware raid controller on my main (now 10.3) raid server which has 9 drives on it, 4 of which are a software raid using my old IDE drives and the rest are SATA drives on the controller card. Both of the machines (the 10.3 and this 11.1) are using the same MBd and both have 4G of memory and a minimum of 450W Power supply and UPSs for the "Florida Bump and Light" power requirements. They also have gigabit network connections up to (but not through) the cable modem box. I have an 8 port SMC router connecting my equipment and all ports are in use so I may have to get a larger (ports) SMC. The 10.3 and this one both run 24x7 and except for hurricanes, I never reboot the 10.3 and only rarely reboot the 11.1 in my bedroom. The other machines also run 24x7 and I don't reboot them either. One has been up since Hurricane Charlie some years back. I am truly at a loss as to why this 11.1 machine won't compile stuff.

I didn't create those symlinks, something else did. I don't know what or when, but I didn't make any symlinks except for the ones I tried per a previous suggestion, and when they failed, I removed them. The one(s) mentioned By David were there, put there by something else. Until he suggested to look in that directory, I had no clue they were even there, however they *looked* reasonable so I left them alone as I knew I hadn't made them myself.

Never on any machine have I had to set any environ variables, and I have NOT set $ARCH or $TYPE. I am not even sure where the best place to define them would be nor what they should contain. I am using AMD-64 (2 x 32 cores) and use 32bit versions of SuSE rather than the 64bit which still has too many problems though getting better. Do you have a suggestion? Remember when I first starated this, I started with 'make clean proper' then tried the 'make cloneconfig' and others but ALL of them created the error message BEFORE I started applying the suggestions (including symlinks which I had never had to do before). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That's actually wrong. "Bitness" has nothing to do with the number of cores. You can have 1 to many 32bit cores or 1 to many 64bit cores ... If you're using a Athlon X2 / Phenom X2, you have two 64bit cores.

It won't. You confuse /usr/include/asm with /usr/src/linux-obj/$ARCH/$TYPE/include2/asm and /usr/src/linux/include/asm The 'make' inside the kernel-source will never change /usr/include/asm! And, as long as you use an obj-dir, you'll never get a correct asm-symlink in /usr/src/linux/include (it is created in linux-obj!). The alternative to my suggestion would be to remove /usr/include/asm and (remove and) reinstall linux-kernel-headers. And as long as you're removing the symlink, you can set the correct one as well, I think. Have you looked at 'rpm -q --scripts linux-kernel-headers'? That postinstall scriptlet is written in a way, so that /usr/include/asm is not changed if it points to /usr/src/linux/include/asm. I think. And I think that is right and decent that way, because the script should assume, that someone creating such a link knows what he's doing. And BTW: I prefer my /usr/include/asm (and /usr/include/linux) pointing to the correct include/asm (/linux) of my current "mainly" running kernel[1]. Which should be the one I've got the matching linux-kernel-headers package installed. So, the symlink /usr/include/asm should point to [/usr/include/]asm-$ARCH (belonging to the -headers RPM). -dnh [1] old discussion.

But above is wrong. linux-obj should point to linux-2.6.30-obj directory, not to be a directory. Check that linux-obj contain build environment for linux-2.6.30 and if yes, change directory name to linux-2.6.30-obj, but taking that you get errors it is probably not the case. If not remove directory and install kernel-<flavor>-devel package for 2.6.30 and it will create correct symlink. Although, I would recommend to use the latest kernel from http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss . It has, as usually, few more bugs solved. But, also check where point links /lib/modules/2.6.27.29-0.1-pae/build and /lib/modules/2.6.27.29-0.1-pae/sources (for my current kernel). Here, openSUSE 11.1: build -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.27.29-0.1-obj/i386/pae source -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.27.29-0.1 That is what scripts for building modules will look for, unless you provide sources manually. The kernel compilation should not look for them. BTW, when my Nvidia module compilation failed the Nvidia script was looking for /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build , but that link was pointing to nothing. After installing kernel-syms that pulled in kernel-desktop-devel that link was OK, and compilation succeeded. In the meantime I checked content of kernel-desktop-devel package and it really contained symlink to linux-<version>-obj directory and that directory (and some /boot files), so you don't really need kernel-syms, but just kernel devel package for the kernel flavor that you want to use. -- Regards, Rajko People of openSUSE editor.

Well, after trying each 'ln -s ...', if it didn't work, I removed the link and tried again with different directory combinations, and replacing the target/source with other 'logical' replacements, like using the names of the directories in /include that began with 'asm-*' and replacing the 'asm' with the /bin/<name of assembler> which in my case is 'as86' with 'yasm' available. I also tried to compile code from my 10.3 machine (a raid controller card driver module) that compiles perfectly on that machine.

S.O.S. :( I appreciate the hints. Other than compiling, literally everything on this machine WORKS. I did force an update of ALL installed packages, several times in fact.

Actually it could be kernel-...-devel package for your 2.6.30 kernel, that is missing. It is not kernel-devel for current 11.1 kernel, but the version that you want to compile. Advice to install kernel-syms seems to be a bit overkill, as it pulled in all -devel packages for all kernel flavors that exist in Factory. (Of course I could check that, before, but I'm busy with my M7 installation.) HTH -- Regards, Rajko People of openSUSE editor.

Not that version. You need kernel-syms 2.6.30, or 2.6.31, whatever is kernel version that you plan to use. Kernel-syms for 2.6.27 will not pull kernel -devel packages as in 2.6.27 source code contains linux-obj files, and kerenel devel packages don't exist. Kernel devs moved linux-obj to separate package somewhere during Milestones, as you have 2.6.30 you need the same version kernel-<flavor>-devel package. Where <flavor> is desktop, default, xen etc. The advice to use kernel-syms was most probably shortcut that will pull in all flavors kernel development packages and solve my compilation problem in any case. -- Regards, Rajko People of openSUSE editor.

However Rajko, when I ran that last test, I *was* trying to compile figureing that IF I could get a sucessful compile, THEN I could go back to 2.6.30 again. On my 10.3 machine, I have NEVER had to set environment variables OR make symlinks or any such to compile either kernels or the device drivers. So, initially, I only had the source for .30 in an RPM (initially) and installed it via zypper and later from a *.tgz. When it didn't work, I switched to the current src version via YAST and pulled in the SYMs at the same time. Same error. That was when I cried 'HELP' here in the forum. Only then did I try the creation of symlinks (but removed each when it didn't change anything). Yes, I'm confused, probably scatterbrained, (and definitately stupid), but I was following a previously good scenerio copied from my notes from sucesssful compilations on my 10.3 machines. I do appreciate the help and suggestions, but so far, no-go. --- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
