Subj: 	Help building kernel objects

Hello, 

I am new to the ode system and I need to build some kernal objects for
version 3.2F of Digital UNIX. I have got some help from John Dustin who has
directed me to this list.

Following John's instructions I took the following step's in my home 
directory (I am using Fred Templin's account until I can get my own
account organised)

csh> mksb -back v32fsupportos v32supportos
csh> workon -sb v32fsupportos
% mklinks -dironly .
% setenv DO_MODULES AUTO
% cd kernel
% build setup

At this stage build goes off and does lots of work, and then breaks. It seems
that the c compiler breaks in the include file /usr/include/string.h while
trying to compile the file mkdata.c. The first few messages reported are:

env - COMP_HOST_ROOT=/ COMP_TARGET_ROOT=/ /usr/bin/cc   -EL -c  -DBSD44 -DMSG  -D__WCHAR_T_LEN=4
-Wf,-wchar32  -DMACH -DCMU -DOSF  -Dalpha -D__alpha__ -D__alpha  -Dunix -D__unix__      -O2 -Olimit 5000
 -DCMU -D_NO_PROTO -Dconst=      `genpath -I.` `genpath  -I../../include -I/usr/include ` -I/usr/include
/usr/sde/osf1/build/v32fsupportos/src/kernel/src/mkdata/mkdata.c
cc: Error: /usr/include/string.h, line 164: In the declaration of "__R", a function may not return a
function type.
extern char    * __R(basename) __((char  *));
-----------------^
cc: Warning: /usr/include/string.h, line 164: In the declaration of "__R", a function declarator has an
identifier list but is not part of a function definition.  Extraneous parameter names are ignored.
extern char    * __R(basename) __((char  *));
-----------------^
cc: Error: /usr/include/string.h, line 165: In the declaration of "__R", a function may not return a
function type.
extern char    * __R(dirname) __((char  *));
-----------------^

Some of the environment variables that are set in my 'workon' shell that may be
relevent are:

C_COMPILER=cc
INCDIRS=-I/home/templin/sb/v32fsupportos/export/alpha/usr/include -I/usr/sde/osf1/build/v32fsupportos/export/alpha/usr/include
ULT_INCDIRS=-I/usr/include


I guess that my build environment is not setup correctly, can anyone tell me
what I'm doing wrong or what steps I am missing. If you need any furtyher
information please let me know.

Thanks and regards,
Ollie

Subj: 	Re: Help building kernel objects

You need to have your sandbox backed by a fully populated tree like 
v32fsupportos.nightly. The submit tree has no exports or built objects.

In your workon, do "resb v32fsupportos.nightly" (After you ensure that the 
nightly tree is mounted).

If you are trying to build a 3.2 pool on a 4.0 system, you may also have a 
problem building mkdata as the build uses the system libs and compiler for 
this piece and they are not compatible.
