Package: xen
Version: 4.8.1
OS : Debian Jessie 8.8 (stable), testing repository enabled in
sources.list to download xen-4.8.1
I'm trying to install xen with XSM Flask module on.
Following, the instructions I did :
1. apt-get build-dep xen
2. apt-get source xen
3. cd xen-4.8.1
4. vim.tiny Configure.mk (and added XSM_ENABLE ?=y and FLASK_ENABLE
?=y)
5. make clean
6. ./configure --enable-xen --enable-tools --enable-xsm
7. make
8. make install
9. update grub
10. reboot
After the reboot, debian with hypervisor starts but I'm unable to launch
xl command and xenstore-ls gives no answer.
Am I missing something ?
Regards,
Herv?

Have you tried building the package instead? I find that ?make install? often doesn?t do what you expect when a project is engineered to work as a package. Try the following: - run apt-get source and apt-get build-sep as you did - Edit rules.real in the debian directory, you can add configure settings in there as well - run debuild or dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc to get .deb packages with your changes you then end up with ?normal? debian packages you can install using dpkg -i.

[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#863198: Xen compiling with XSM on
tags 863198 + moreinfo thanks Hi Hervé, I'm hunting down old bug reports in the Xen packages, and also ran into this one: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=863198 Like John Keates already answered in there, when dealing with the source of a debian package, you're also expected to use the debian packaging way of building it. When just issuing make commands, you're dealing with the upstream source in a way that we cannot support in Debian. Since there has been no more activity on the report, I might close it in a while if there's no response, since it's not something we can act on. Have fun, Hans

Hi Hans,
As far as I remember Mark Pryor managed to compile it and made a debian
package with XSM enabled.
So I think you can indeed close this bug :)
Fun fact, I just compiled compiled the new stable version (4.11.1)
yesterday successfully.
If anyone crossing these reports wants to know the process (build in a
Docker container, default flask policy):
/# In an updated Debian 9 docker /
/echo "deb-src http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian/ testing main"
>>
/etc/apt/sources.list//
