Hi,
How to compile xen-3.3 on a machine without network?
Up to the version 3.1 could use simply the packages
xen-$VERxen-src.tgz and linux-$VERlin.tar.bz2.
Now seen to be required to install hg and connect to internet.
Both is not simply possible.
Exist a overview to different ways to compile xen-3.3?
regards torsten
Summary:
1. Jeremie [1] say: impossible to use ... XEN_LINUX_SOURCE=tarball
It is corrcet?
For what is the option tarball usable?
2. on [2] i found xen-3.3.0.tar.gz
Descr: Xen 3.3.0 official source distribution tarball
Readme say:
This tarball contains the released source code for Xen 3.3.
...no words "to be need mercurial".
3. on [2] i found linux-2.6.18-xen-3.3.0.tar.gz
Descr: Linux 2.6.18 with Xen 3.3.0 support source tarball
Readme say:
This tarball contains the released source code for Xen 3.3.
You need to install mercurial, and clone the kernel repository ...
It seen not avaible for xen-3.2.
It seen to be xenifid-linux-kernel (linux-2.6.18.3-xen.hg).
- release: Aug 21 11:36
- seen identical "hg clone linux-2.6.18-xen.hg" without dir .hg
but readme say: "You need to install mercurial..."
how to compile this?
Can it be possible that the documantation (2./3.) are swapped?
3.1 on [3] (at 3 Sep) was written:
tar zxvf linux-2.6.18-xen-3.3.0.tar.gz -C xen-3.3.0/
(entry was deleted on 8 Sep, ...i hate dynamic websites...)
3.2 alternate one can pack linux-2.6.18-xen.hg on another machine,
but how to compile?
a $ hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
a $ tar -czf linux-2.6.18-xen.hg.tgz linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
b $ tar -xzf linux-2.6.18-xen.hg.tgz
b $ tar -xzf xen-3.3.0.tar.gz
b $ cd xen-3.3.0
b # time KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU" \
XEN_LINUX_SOURCE=tarball make dist
It is correct? suggest another way?
