Subj: Re: gold kernel .h build error
It's not a kernel build bug, it's a problem building a kernel exerciser.
Either this sandbox has moved or it's out on some workstation where I
can't find it. In gbelch's production system home directory there's
a sandbox that might be the one. It's backed by a tree named
/usr/qcsde/build/src/qaqc
(which has been problematic for "bsh" because it includes /src/ as
part of its name. I don't think that's the problem now.)
I can't find the /usr/qcsde tree to investigate this one very well. At
first blush I'd say the Makefile is in error because it doesn't
document the dependency of msg_block_exer.c on msg_exer.h (putting
something in a DEPEND_LIST clause doesn't do this all by itself, unless
there's some new makefile rules I've not heard of). From the command
line shown, though, that isn't a problem: there's a genpath -I.
that ought to be doing the right thing.
Gene: the best thing you could do for us to help you is to do a
workon, cd ../obj/alpha/smp/exer/kern and tell us what result you
see from doing "genpath -I. -I../../threadRace".

Subj: gold kernel .h build error
The problem is very simple: mklinks is broken.
When the build croaks looking for a (existing)
.h file, you just resb qaqc and do
mklinks -copy smp
3 or 4 times. Then resb goldos.nightly,
cd smp and build. Shazzam! it finds the .h file.
You just iterate that every time build croaks
and it will complete without errors. FYI, the
Makefiles giving the error have been building
without errors for months when they were on itg.
regards,
Gene

Subj: Re: gold kernel .h build error
I wasn't blaming the Makefile for this problem. I don't think it's
"correct", but the flaw would probably not cause a problem very often.
I don't have access to an environment where I can resb to qaqc and
"itg" doesn't appear in our hosts list. Where are you?
You should not have to iterate "mklinks -copy" to get a complete
copy. Any information can put together to document this bug should be
reported back to Seattle via the gen-ptt command.
