--- Begin Message ---Package: linux-kbuild-2.6.18 Version: 2.6.18-1 Severity: important I'm building proprietary Linux module with complicated directory structure. Particulary, ther is a directory with a library being built inside it (i.e. lib-y is non-empty, obj-y is empty). Linux kernel Makefile runs modpost regardless of emptyness of obj-y variable; so I see the following command being run: scripts/mod/modpost -m -i /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-3-amd64/Module.symvers -I /<path_to_the_library_dir>/Module.symvers -o /<path_to_the_library_dir>/Module.symvers I do not have any problems with it when I use self-compiled kernels (even when I compile them with kernel-package) or with RH kernels. However, when I use kernels from the Debian etch, such as linux-image-2.6.18-3-amd64 with linux-headers-2.6.18-3-amd64, the modpost command fails with error "Can't open file". modpost command from linux-kbuild-2.6.18 tries to detect the type of the object and fails to do it when there are no object files passed to it. I propose to fix Debian modpost script to call any one of the available real modpost scripts. Another option may be to create an empty file using the file name specified in the "-o" option and exit (it is the behaviour of the real modpost). A patch for the first approach: --- /home/sasha/src/linux-kbuild-2.6-2.6.18/src/mod/modpost.c.saved 2006-12-20 14:14:18.000000000 +0300 +++ /home/sasha/src/linux-kbuild-2.6-2.6.18/src/mod/modpost.c 2006-12-20 14:16:47.000000000 +0300 @@ -28,6 +28,12 @@ } } + if (argv[optind] == NULL) + { + data = "lsb"; + class = "64"; + goto done; + } if (!(file = fopen (argv[optind], "r"))) { fprintf (stderr, "Can't open file\n"); @@ -63,6 +69,7 @@ default: return 1; } +done: snprintf (prog, sizeof prog, "%s.real-%s-%s", argv[0], data, class); return execv (prog, argv); A patch for the second approach: --- /home/sasha/src/linux-kbuild-2.6-2.6.18/src/mod/modpost.c.saved 2006-12-20 14:14:18.000000000 +0300 +++ /home/sasha/src/linux-kbuild-2.6-2.6.18/src/mod/modpost.c 2006-12-20 14:24:24.000000000 +0300 @@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ unsigned char ei[EI_NIDENT]; int opt; FILE *file; + char *out_file; while ((opt = getopt (argc, argv, "ai:I:mo:")) != -1) { @@ -22,12 +23,19 @@ case 'I': case 'm': case 'o': + out_file = optarg; break; default: return 1; } } + if (argv[optind] == NULL) + { + file = fopen(out_file, "w"); + fclose(file); + return 0; + } if (!(file = fopen (argv[optind], "r"))) { fprintf (stderr, "Can't open file\n"); Thank you for your work, in hope that this bug will be fixed before Etch, Alexandra. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (50, 'experimental'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-amd64 Locale: LANG=, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages linux-kbuild-2.6.18 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries linux-kbuild-2.6.18 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Regards, Sasha.
