Hello, I had read the instructions and tried to build Xen from source. When running ./build-workspace pathToxen-src-2006-08-16 I get : /usr/sfw/bin/gas: unrecognized option `--divide'' I must add that I added to my PATH , at the end , in build-workspace script file, /opt/SUNWspro/bin; before I did it I had an error about not finding cscope. Moerover, the needed libraries are installed according to opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/How-To-8-15-06/Downloads (For building Xen from source) * SUNWPython64 * SUNWPython64-devel * SUNWbinutils * SUNWgcc * SUNWgccruntime Any ideas? mahass This message posted from opensolaris.org
> When running ./build-workspace > pathToxen-src-2006-08-16 > > I get : > /usr/sfw/bin/gas: unrecognized option `--divide''It means you did not update to the SUNWbinutils from the following page: opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/How-To-8-15-06/Downloads-Page-8-15-06 That is a new option. You should see the following from gas # gas --help | tail -4 -s ignored --divide do not treat `/'' as a comment character Report bugs to bug-binutils@gnu.org MRJ This message posted from opensolaris.org
Hello, Thnks ! I had downloaded that binutils package and installed it. I ran: ./build-workspace pathToxen-src-2006-08-16 and I don''t get that error of gas anymore. but after 1-2 minutes I get: ... cp check_pkgs.ksh check_pkgs chmod +x check_pkgs ./check_pkgs /opt/work/down/xen/xen-src-2006-08-16/proto/install/ /opt/work/down/xen/xen-src-2006-08-16/sunos.hg/src/pkgdefs SUNWxenr SUNWxenu SUNWxenh Build is not in /disk2/dme/xen-clone - not updating /ws/matrix-gate packages. I don''t know what this message is about. under xen-src-2006-08-16/package I have 3 packages: SUNWxenh SUNWxenr SUNWxenu Any ideas ? Xu This message posted from opensolaris.org
> Hello, > Build is not in /disk2/dme/xen-clone - not updating > /ws/matrix-gate packages.This is a normal message. It''s basically saying that you gate is not the official build gate, so it won''t copy the packages to our internal repository. The packages that you built should be fine...

Hello, OK, thnks! Now what is next step? I want to build a solaris based domU I did not do anything yet with: osox-src-2006-08-16 should I run "make world" from there ? or do somethiing with these packages or anything else before ? I apologize, but I did not find exact instructions about the whole process of building Xen and I do know little about it. Regards, Xu This message posted from opensolaris.org
Oops... sorry... I meant nightly opensolaris.sh from there , under osox-src-2006-08-16 (there is no make world) Xu This message posted from opensolaris.org
> Oops... sorry... I meant nightly opensolaris.sh from > there , under osox-src-2006-08-16 (there is no make > world)I''m not clear on what your problem is.. The build instructions are @ opensolaris.org/os/community/on/devref_toc/devref_1/#1_3_3_building_on_from_source Are you saying your having problems with? $ nightly ./opensolaris.sh & Thanks, MRJ This message posted from opensolaris.org
Mark, I did built in the past successfully opensolaris kernels , so I know evertyhing about all waht should be done for it. I did not yet ran nightly opensolaris.sh & from under osox-src-2006-08-16. I was just wondering about the interaction of xen-src-2006-08-16 and osox-src-2006-08-16 and what of each of this folder represents. I will exaplain myself: I just want to understand something: there is the xen src folder (xen-src-2006-08-16). running ./build-workspace pathToxen-src-2006-08-16 created 3 packages, as was mentioned before. (SUNWxenh , SUNWxenr and SUNWxenu). Now, will running nightly opensolaris.sh & from under osox-src-2006-08-16 use in any way this packages ? (or anything else which was created under xen-src-2006-08-16 ? ) Is running ./build-workspace pathToxen-src-2006-08-16 ***prior*** to nightly opensolaris.sh & is a must?

Hi Xu,> Is running ./build-workspace pathToxen-src-2006-08-16 > ***prior*** > to nightly opensolaris.sh & is a must?ah, I see what your asking. You do not need anything from the xen sources or xen binary packages to compile the solaris kernel, etc.. MRJ This message posted from opensolaris.org
