This sounds like a great way to do kernel builds, but I'm having
problems with make-kpkg (on woody). The first time I ran
root # make-kpkg --flavour benh kernel_image
I saw
find: /usr/src/modules: No such file or directory
test -f stamp-debian || /usr/bin/make -f /usr/share/kernel-package/rules
debian
test -f .config || /usr/bin/make -f /usr/share/kernel-package/rules
.config
test ! -f stamp-configure \
&& /usr/bin/make FLAVOUR=benh CROSS_COMPILE= \
ARCH=ppc oldconfig \
&& /usr/bin/make FLAVOUR=benh CROSS_COMPILE= \
ARCH=ppc dep \
&& /usr/bin/make FLAVOUR=benh CROSS_COMPILE= \
ARCH=ppc clean && \
touch stamp-configure
make: [stamp-configure] Error 1 (ignored)
...which I guess is ok, since the build proceeded anyway. But after
building the kernel it stopped with:
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map -b
/usr/src/benh_kernel/debian/tmp-image -r 2.4.6-pre3; fi
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/benh_kernel'
cp vmlinux debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinux-2.4.6-pre3+benh
chmod 644 debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinux-2.4.6-pre3+benh
cp arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.coff
debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinux.coff-2.4.6-pre3+benh
cp: cannot stat `arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.coff': No such file or
directory
make: *** [kernel-image-deb] Error 1
I tried editing debian/rules and setting HAVE_COFF_IMAGE to NO. Then I
ran
fakeroot debian/rules binary
and stopped at:
(cd debian/tmp-source/usr/src/; \
tar --bzip2 -cf kernel-source-2.4.6-pre5.tar.bz2
kernel-source-2.4.6-pre5;\
rm -rf kernel-source-2.4.6-pre5;)
dpkg-gencontrol -isp -pkernel-source-2.4.6-pre5 -Pdebian/tmp-source/
dpkg-gencontrol: error: package kernel-source-2.4.6-pre5 not in control
info
make: *** [stamp-source] Error 29
I've looked at the man pages and /usr/doc, but I'm at a loss. Any ideas?
Also, is there a way to build the modules and kernel deb, and skip the
kernel-source deb? I don't really want it, so it seems like a waste of
time and disk space.
thanks!
