Public bug reported: Hello,
on Ubuntu 15.04 I am trying to build a kernel from its sourcepackage like this: export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update && apt-get -y install kernel-package build-essential latest=linux-image-3.19.0-25-generic apt-get -y build-dep $latest && apt-get source $latest yes "" | make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=test kernel_image kernel_headers kernel_source After a while, the compilation process reports a missing header file: CC [M] ubuntu/vbox/vboxguest/VBoxGuest-linux.o In file included from <command-line>:0:0: ././include/linux/kconfig.h:46:1: fatal error: ./ubuntu/vbox/vboxguest/include/VBox/VBoxGuestMangling.h: No such file or directory #endif /* __LINUX_KCONFIG_H */ ^ compilation terminated. scripts/Makefile.build:257: recipe for target 'ubuntu/vbox/vboxguest/VBoxGuest-linux.o' failed make[4]: *** [ubuntu/vbox/vboxguest/VBoxGuest-linux.o] Error 1 scripts/Makefile.build:402: recipe for target 'ubuntu/vbox/vboxguest' failed make[3]: *** [ubuntu/vbox/vboxguest] Error 2 scripts/Makefile.build:402: recipe for target 'ubuntu/vbox' failed make[2]: *** [ubuntu/vbox] Error 2 Makefile:949: recipe for target 'ubuntu' failed make[1]: *** [ubuntu] Error 2 There is a VBoxGuestMangling.h somewhere else in the code-tree, and I've tried symlinking it, but then I just run into another compile-error later on. I was under the impression that Ubuntu used its own source packages to produce the kernel images, but now I am not so sure. kr, -- Steven ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1481723 Title: can not build kernel image from source package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1481723/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
