Date Of Receipt: 25-JUN-1996 20:17:54.03 From: GURU::kucherov "sergei kucherov 25-Jun-1996 2017" To: buildhelp@dec:.zko.guru, duane@dec:.zko.guru CC: kucherov@dec:.zko.guru Subj: V40 kernel build help needed What I would like to do is to create a new sandbox backed by v40supportos.nightly, then to do the minimal possible mklinks, then to relink GENERIC/vmunix . Prior to v40, I could do mklinks in BINARY, GENERIC, include, remove a few files from GENERIC, and do "build GENERIC_relink" (see ~kucherov/kernel_build.howto for precisely how). Do you know of a quick way just to relink GENERIC/vmunix for v40, after doing the minimal mklinks and rm commands starting from a fresh sandbox? If you don't know the answer, I'd like a pointer to one or more "kernel build experts" that I can visit to help me. I can try the experiments, but I need a "live" body to lean on when the experiments fail and the error messages are useless. Once I learn an answer to quick relinking, I will spread the knowledge to the file system group in useg. useg is just starting to deal with v40. Thanks, sergei P.S. The kernel build rules that I've found online don't give me the answer. They assume that I'm building everything from scratch. I just want to relink without getting "permission denied" messages which don't point to the offending directory or file for which permission is denied. Note that the error messages I got for v32* actually told me what files it couldn't create -- and then it was easy to generate the instructions in ~kucherov/kernel_build.howto . v40 is not as friendly and I need help.

It still seems to work that way for me. The list of files I had to remove in GENERIC after the mklinks was: buildnumber vers.[c,o] vers.suffix vmunix* EXTRAS.mod I suspect it was EXTRAS.mod that you didn't know about. It is new in V4.0. -- Andrew L. Duane DTN 381-1294 [email protected] USG Kernel Scalability alpha::duane ZKO3-3/U14 www.zk3.dec.com/~duane | |||||
