https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=409982 Summary: kernel build behaviour in kernel-ksyms Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: vogt@itwm.fraunhofer.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Hello, during kernel 2.6.22 and the current 2.6.25.9-4 something changed in the package kernel-ksyms. The change is a switch from relative PATH to an absolute PATH: for 2.6.22 in: usr/src/linux-2.6.22.9-0.4-obj/i386/default is a Makefile, the relevant part of it is this:
KERNELSRC := ../../../linux-2.6.22.9-0.4 KERNELOUTPUT := ../linux-2.6.22.9-0.4-obj/i386/default
(a relative PATH) in 2.6.25.9-4 in usr/src/linux-2.6.25.9-4-obj/i386/default: The Makefile contains:
MAKEARGS := -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.25.9-4 MAKEARGS += [....]
Which is an absolute PATH. This breaks an evironment where where the kernel is not located under /usr/src/linux-2.6.25.9-4 but for example under /home/buildfarm/suse/usr/src/linux-2.6.25.9-4 regards, Martin PS: Yes, we are running here a buildfarm for kernels PPS: Other might be affected by this too and there is no reason to hardcode the path. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
