[opensuse-kernel] How to compile the kernel style "OpenSuSE"?

Hello, I have a doubt in the correct procedure for compiling the operating system kernel in OpenSUSE. I have sought help in forums, but nobody could help me, so I'm turning to you. I hope you can understand me, my English is not very good. I'm using version 12.1 of the "OpenSUSE" with kernel "1.3.10-1.16-default." After downloading the kernel source code and all the build dependencies via "YAST", run the following commands as "root": cd /usr/src/linux-3.1.10-1.16/; make clean; make mrproper; cp /boot/config-3.1.10-1.16-default ./.config; make menuconfig; At this stage I would not change any configuration of the kernel, just select the file ".config" and choose a name for the kernel that will be compiled. After these procedures, I save and start the build process via the command: make dep; make rpm; After waiting for the build is done, I checked the package ".rpm" generated has a size of 317 MB, and the repository of the "OpenSUSE", the size of this file is approximately 37 MB. After installing the kernel compiled, I noticed no difference in the number of generated binary files, only in their size. So, I wonder, because the kernel is compiled much mair than the kernel provided by the repository "OpenSUSE"?, And I'm using the same configuration. And what is the correct way to compile the kernel in OpenSUSE?. So I can generate a size compatible with the repository. Thank you for the information, João -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org

Debuginfo. It's not stripped from modules/vmlinux in your rpm.

Hello Jiri, I followed the script you gave me and everything went well, thank you. One more question, I wanted to apply a "patch" and change the file ".config" before you start compiling a kernel. What is the easiest way to do this?

The openSUSE RPMs are post-processed to split the debuginfo out of them. I'm not sure how that works outside of the build service. The other way to do it is to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO in the config file. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.18 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQPCXMAAoJEB57S2MheeWyyeIP/1WpWMn356UKR65vEr4G4NYj OEMTvF/X0wdP168C7Im8JJ8AHCJ44tfyEdhuLuZcdDbkWyyoIkblVL5zbh9utfqa +cSDkY32VBZkLmxYqaCW6yzt2jgzbMrhArkdz7CQFzG37vJP4+9LUn91X5KiA1Ic R4HPsUWwfB+r+NOho2DNDbj8KtUVYCh559yQ4uSHPjaJjfrHgB+QBEAqgoj01hg6 0zjf3FvQi5YqrEZR+I5EqwaB8nWXXZuHoZf6xqSy/U3V966irrywEoOyKVQchCz1 QzvAWIwRhhTl81+QKEiG18utXLVs1Hk21WvjmuUwRQTYuaszzeSN4Xpb6lNi3B5s Df3thutX6bZhAgyrD33wzts7A+wcKqNfWBd9yk1f4ZMKcJprMWzFf7D39Xihy4md IGwlQBBKJquneDE4LNV25y4J3akn98Nii+auCNzxBMVWjOP54v0DdbeiC5aXhg+9 OTncnRe/xfsas41K3s2m5E4f7Ey94l5fKMf4yb0XhiaFk3uyPuULQX/gg1SkTnKj ujdZoeGm9veuia6TNtycBCNspteecUhTPv2JGGcGq7W7m8/+xk8OQDBPggMMOEyR hvn0rIhsIV07AzIaOeAn5fCLPyTkgsmcxojB9n/GgZSJIqeQ/y2A5rSm6N9JG0qV gC7VprfgBLFgJ16gE0A3 =qB7T -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
