Re: [Xen-devel] Problems compiling Xen for ia64
Hi Ricardo --
I''m not sure from your message, but I suspect that you
are using a very old distribution of Xen/ia64, perhaps
the one from the HP Labs ftp site? The current
README.xenia64 does not refer to install.sh.
Xen/ia64 is now available as part of the standard Xen
"unstable" distribution, at xen.bkbits.net/xeno-unstable.bk.
If you obtain this on an ia64 box, change to
the xeno-unstable.bk directory, then cd to the xen
subdirectory. Then read arch/ia64/tools/README.xenia64.
Note that the unstable tree is, well, unstable. Because
development continues on the x86 and x86-64 branches,
sometimes the unstable tree is inconsistent with the
latest arch/ia64 files and will not compile. (That is
the case right now until the Cambridge Xen team pulls
the latest from the xen-ia64.bkbits.net tree.)
In particular Xen/ia64 has a dependency on a copy of
Linux (as described in README.xenia64) and this has just
been rebased to 2.6.11. You might want to wait a day or
two until this all works through the bk system.
Also, I should point you to the new xen-ia64 distribution
list. See http://lists.xensource.com/xen-ia64 to sign up

Hello everyone,
I''m having trouble compiling Xen for ia64, I''m using Red Hat
AS update 3
with the build-in kernel (2.4 series) on a Itanium RX 5670.
Following the steps specified int the "README.xenia64" file, when I
try
to run "sh install.sh" I get this message:
"ERROR: Could not find a valid distribution directory.
If this is a source-only release, try ''make dist''."
if I run "made dist" it starts the compilation process but I get the
error below:
