Hi there,
/I''ve been working with the Xen binaries, but I need to support
additional devices so I''m trying to build a custom XenLinux. I thought
I
would go the testing route and so I''ve downloaded two things.
First, I downloaded mercurial-0-6b.tar.gz from www.selenic.com. into
/home/admin/src. After untarring it I went into the resulting directory
mercurial-0-6b. Using the provided README gave a quick trouble-free
installation. A simple hg confirmed it was working.
Second, I downloaded xen-2.0-testing.hg.gz from xen.sf.net. After
untarring that I went into the resulting directory xen-2.0-testing.hg.
Online I did a hg pull -u, and this seemed to modify and change some
files successfully.
At this point I feel completely puzzled. Because of the work on the
binaries I have a config file to hand - /boot/config-2.6.10-xen0, but I
cannot see where to place it if I want to use it as the basis for a make
operation.
In the Xen Users'' Manual, under the heading 2.3.3 Custom XenLinux
Builds there are four lines:
# cd linux-2.6.9-xen0
# make ARCH=xen xconfig
# cd ...
# make
I would have thought the config file should go into the given
linux-2.6.9-xen0, but I cannot find this in my existing setup. Just
where do I put it?
In the previous section of the Users'' Manual it says that the
top-level Makefile will "download (if necessary) and unpack the Linux
2.6 source code". This suggests that if the xconfig is done that any
necessary source code will be downloaded on the second make. Is that
correct?
TIA,
dr

Hi, you did everything in the right way. A ''make world'' will download the respective kernel sources from kernel.org and unpack them into two directories. The make file applies the necessary patches. In my case, it''s linux-2.6.11-xen0 and linux-2.6.11-xenU under ../xen-2.0/. I build from the stable sources, but it works the same way.

Is that > correct?With the "download (if necessary) and unpack the Linux 2.6 source code" is meant, that make will download the kernel in case it is not already in that directory. If you called "make world" for the first time it will download the kernel-src. In your case I would do the following: ''make world'' #It builds xen and downloads and compiles the kernels Then cd into the directory of the kernel you want to customize (probably xen0) ''make ARCH=xen xconfig'' (or make ARCH=xen oldconfig with your existing config file) go back to the main xen directory and do a ''make kernels'' And then, to install the xen binaries and the kernels: ''make install''.

Andrew,
Thanks for the tip about ''make world''. I tried that but it
failed
with a message to look at ../tools/check/.chkbuild. In that file were
these lines:
Checking check_curl_devel
Check for libcurl includes failed
FAILED
All the other checks in that file were OK.
As I am running Debian sarge I downloaded libcurl3-devel(7.13.2-2)
but on an attempted installation it listed two failed dependencies:
-libssl-dev (not installed)
-libidn11-dev (not installed)
Leaving aside the first one my installer (aptitude) says that
libidn11 (installed on my machine) replaces libidn11-dev. I am not
knowledgable in these matters and I do no want to try any install
experiments.
Again, I seem to have run into a brick wall. Have you any ideas what
I should now do about lib_curl?

"Replaces" just means that files from libidn11 can overwrite files from libidn11-dev, so APT has to be careful in which order it installs them. -- Stop the infinite loop, I want to get off! http://surreal.istic.org/ Paraphernalia/Never hides your broken bones,/ And I don''t know why you''d want to try:/ It''s plain to see you''re on your own. -- Paul Simon The documentation that can be written is not the true documentation. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Andrew,
After I sent the email to you I decided to install the libssl-dev
package referred to, during which process a number of messages came up
about dependencies. I cannot recall exactly what happened next but I
made another attempt to install the libcurl3-dev package and it went in
perfectly. The libcurl problem had vanished!
My apologies for wasting your time, and that of the mailing list.
Put it down to Monday-morning syndrome.
