# hg clone r RELEASE-3.2.0 http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.2-testing.hg
# hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
# cd xen-3.2-testing.hg
# make j8 dist

NOTES:
 1. This will build the -xen¹ module-based kernel suitable for use in dom0
or domU. If you want a stripped down domU kernel you can make
linux-2.6-xenU-build¹. If you want a dom0 kernel with a reasonable set of
drivers built into it (not as modules) then you can make
linux-2.6-xen0-build¹.
 2. Everything ends up in the dist/ subdirectory of the repository. If you
want to install stuff to usual system locations (/boot, /usr/bin, etc) then
you can make install¹.
 3. If you get mercurial errors, e.g., when executing hg commands, your
version of mercurial is probably too old. Upgrade it.
 4. If you get a warning about having a bad version of awk, and needing gawk
or similar, then you need to install the gawk package for your distro. If
this replaces the default awk then you are good to go. If you have to invoke
gawk as gawk¹ then you need to edit linux-2.6.18-xen.hg/Makefile to specify
AWK=gawk, or possibly make AWK=gawk j8 dist¹ will work just as well
(untested though).

It should be -r (a en-dash(?) was used in this mail but also the

Version 0.9.5 works, 0.9.1 is too old and doesn''t upport option -r for
remote
repositories.

Will try it out.

RE: [Xen-users] Re: Troubles Compiling the XEN 3.2 Release

Hello,

 

Im afraid this still does not work.

 

Is it possible to put it into a tar ball like in previous versions that
we can just run make world and install it that way?

 

Thanks

Hi Keir,

due to problems with compiling the new XEN3.2 Version I and the whole
community is running into problems.
The main problem is that we can''t build the binaries from the source.
One of the most errors is that we will be asked for the 
Linux "linux-2.6.18-xen.hg" directory, which is needed to compile.
Then
we''ve added this directory via mecurial
with: hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg

After that it is still not working. Then someone did a post where he
recommended to use the "make all" command instead of
using the "make world". But then the compilation will stop with the
error: 
/opt/src/xen-3.2.0/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg/scripts/Makefile.build:73: ***
''Your awk program does not define gensub.  Use gawk or another awk with
gensub''.  Stop.

Whatever we''re doing, it is not working.
If you have a look in the user-list of XEN, the community is fighting
with that problem.

What should we do, or better is there something which needs to be fixed
in the Source Tarball from your side?
And why we still having the mercurial stuff inside, when this is a final
release.

It would be very nice if you could take a closer look and help us out,
because we''re all very keen to get it work.
Many Thanks Keir and waiting for your answer.

Cheers,
Maik

I''m really confused why you add so many linebreaks. Also note that this
