[Xen-devel] mkbuildtree/lndir confused by arch symlink in hypervisor-ifs
Hello!
it seems that the lndir-rel program gets confused by the arch symlink in
xen/include/hypervisor-ifs, it creates the following tree in
linux/include/asm-xeno/hypervisor-ifs:
drwxr-xr-x 2 chris users 80 Mar 11 17:06 arch
drwxr-xr-x 2 chris users 80 Mar 11 17:06 arch-i386
lrwxrwxrwx 1 chris users 44 Mar 11 17:06 arch-x86_64 ->
.../../xen/include/hypervisor-ifs/arch-x86_64
This then fails at the make dep stage because it tries to recreate the arch
symlink (it fails on rm arch since arch is a dir).
Removing the arch symlink in xen/include/hypervisor-ifs before running
lndir-rel fixes the problem.

Perhaps it won''t be too hard to get rid of lndir-rel entirely -- it''s rather hideous having a native executable hanging around in the build system. -- Keir ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
