Theresa, please mail build questions and ode source control questions to
buildhelp (cc'd) and odehelp respectively.  Thanks.

In this case, you're clearly getting the wrong version of make; you're
getting the one out of /usr/sde/tools/... rather than out of the backing
tree; they support different switches which is convenient to catch errors.

I'm not sure why that would be, though it could be a group permissions
thing.  Make sure you're in group 'staff'=10.

If you run 'sbinfo PATH', one of the first directories should be 'hostbin'
within the backing tree:

    <tree>/tools/alpha_OSF1/alpha/hostbin/make

Also, you should be backed to a built tree such as steelos.nightly or
steelos.bl# rather than the submit tree, steelos, for a fully supported
build environment.  The submit tree has no exports or objs.

Hi Josh,

I got a tape of steelos backing tree last week and I tried
to build against it today on my local sandbox.  The build
failed immediately with the following error msg:

kuri>build  
relative path: ./kernel.
make: illegal option -- c
usage: make [-eiknqrst] [-D variable] [-d flags] [-f makefile ]
        [-I directory] [-j max_jobs] [variable=value]

Did anything change in kernel build tools for Steel OS?

thanks,

theresa

Will do.  Thanks for the pointer.

I'm in group 'staff' and also the backing tree I copied is 
from 'steelos.nightly' on Nov. 5th.  

The following is the output when I issue 'sbinfo PATH':

kuri>pwd
/home/chin/sb/steelos/src/kernel
kuri>sbinfo PATH
/home/chin/sb/steelos/tools/alpha/hostbin:/home/chin/sb/steelos/tools/alpha/bin:/home/chin/sb/steelos/tools/alpha/acc:/usr/sde/osf1/build/steelos.nightly/tools/alpha_OSF1/alpha/hostbin:/usr/sde/osf1/build/steelos.nightly/tools/alpha_OSF1/alpha/bin:/usr/sde/osf1/build/steelos.nightly/tools/alpha_OSF1/alpha/acc:/usr/sde/ode2.0/tools/alpha_ace/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

It looks that the first path is the 'hostbin', so I'm still not
sure why I cannot build a kernel with this backing tree copy.

thanks,

theresa

Did you copy the whole tree? Do you have the full tools dir?

If you look in /usr/sde/osf1/build/steelos.nightly/tools/alpha_OSF1/alpha/hostb
in

do you find make there?


lynx osf1/build [23] cd /usr/sde/osf1/build/steelos.nightly/tools/alpha_OSF1/al

Hi Grant,

>Did you copy the whole tree? Do you have the full tools dir?

I copied pretty much everything.  However my local disk
couldn't hold all the OBJ etc. so /tools directory has
only the following contents which worked fine with older backing tree:

kuri>pwd
/backtree/steelos.nov5/tools
kuri>lsg
total 1
drwxr-xr-x   3 8887     staff        512 Nov 11 15:46 alpha_OSF1
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     staff         33 Nov 11 15:44 help -> ../src/admin/sourcekit/tools/help

>If you look in /usr/sde/osf1/build/steelos.nightly/tools/alpha_OSF1/alpha/hostbin
>
>do you find make there?

Yes, there is a 'make' in that directory which is the same
as what's in the steelos.nightly in ZKO:

-rwxr-xr-x   1 8887     staff     458752 May 18  1995 make

kuri>sum make
24644    448 make


I copied everything I normally copy for a backing tree, so
I don't understand why I can't build this time.
 
thanks,

Theresa,

Do a "build -info" and see what make is being used.


% build -info
relative path: ./kernel.
string passed to /usr/sde/osf1/build/steelos.bl5/tools/alpha_OSF1/alpha/hostbin/make:

Interesting.  Could you please check the "build" you are using?

% which build
/usr/sde/tools/alpha_OSF1/bin/build
%
% sum /usr/sde/tools/alpha_OSF1/bin/build
18967    264 /usr/sde/tools/alpha_OSF1/bin/build
%

Also try using the verbose option to see if you get any more info.

% build -verbose -info

It looks that the sum is definitely different.  However
please note that I'm still on ode2.0 although this is not
supposed to be a problem (I've discussed this with Josh
before, since I don't need to bco/bci from my sandbox,
I was told that I don't need ode3.0).  I had no problem
building against a backing tree from PTAOS stream.

The 'build' command returns more information as of ode3.0.  I recommend
getting the latest ode 'build' command if nothing else.

You can also reset your path within your workon shell using

    sh,ksh:	export PATH=`sbinfo PATH`

    csh:	setenv PATH `sbinfo PATH`

This will allow 'which make' to return the same path used within the
build, and ease some debugging.  If it fixes the problem, however, 
I'd be surprised.

Subj: 	Re: Steelos build question/problem

Thanks for all your help.  While I was on the phone with Shashi,
we found out the problem.  It turned out that the problem was
caused by the fact that I named the backing tree as 'steelos.nov5'
instead of 'steelos.nightly'.  Since the build expected things
in 'steelos.nightly' path, it didn't find those files properly.
I thought it will help me remember which version of nightly
I copied, by naming it with the copy date, but didn't realize
it will cause problem.  Sorry about the confusion :-(.

I'll copy down the newer version of 'build' command anyway.

thanks again,

theresa
