Package: src:linux Version: 4.5.5-1 I am starring at the documentation for rebuilding the Debian kernel. I'd like to test a change in a non-module section of the kernel code (CONFIG_FB_OF=y), to resolve #825840. So I thought I could simply follows the steps from:
https://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s4.2.5 [...] # apt-get install build-essential fakeroot # apt-get build-dep linux $ mkdir tmp && cd tmp $ apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) $ cd linux-* $ fakeroot debian/rules source $ fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_powerpc_none_powerpc [...] dh_installdocs dh_installchangelogs dh_strip Can't exec "-objcopy": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Dh_Lib.pm line 243. dh_strip: -objcopy --only-keep-debug --compress-debug-sections debian/linux-image-4.5.0-2-powerpc/usr/lib/linux-image-4.5.0-2-powerpc/hack-coff debian/.debhelper/linux-image-4.5.0-2-powerpc/dbgsym-root/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/db/692a8d7808bd1b2adc58cd43f114d6fe006303.debug failed to to execute: No such file or directory debian/rules.real:194: recipe for target 'install-base' failed make[2]: *** [install-base] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/mathieu/tmp/linux-4.5.4' debian/rules.real:376: recipe for target 'install-image_powerpc_none_powerpc' failed make[1]: *** [install-image_powerpc_none_powerpc] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/mathieu/tmp/linux-4.5.4' debian/rules.gen:204: recipe for target 'binary-arch_powerpc_none_powerpc_real' failed make: *** [binary-arch_powerpc_none_powerpc_real] Error 2 I can see objcopy right here: mathieu@debian:~/tmp/linux-4.5.4$ ls -al /usr/bin/*objcopy lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 May 12 16:59 /usr/bin/objcopy -> powerpc-linux-gnu-objcopy -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 266200 May 12 16:59 /usr/bin/powerpc-linux-gnu-objcopy And I am using: mathieu@debian:~/tmp/linux-4.5.4$ uname -a Linux debian 4.5.0-2-powerpc #1 Debian 4.5.4-1 (2016-05-16) ppc GNU/Linux Does anyone know how to build only the powperpc flavor from a powerpc system ? Thanks much.
