[Xen-users] Make world problem compiling Xen 4.0.1 from source
Greetings, Xen gurus! Per the Ubuntu community documentation at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen#Maverick%20Notes%20(Xen%204.0.1%20pvops%20on%20Ubuntu%2010.10) I am trying to install Xen 4.0.1 from source which I got from bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/4.0.1/xen-4.0.1.tar.gz because apparently the ubuntu-xen-server package has broken dependencies. The instructions as provided state that gettext, bin86, bcc, libc6-dev-i386, iasl, texinfo and git are needed and even after that, I found (presumably because the server was installed with only the core operating system and OpenSSH server) that make world wouldn''t run properly and I also needed to install build-essential libssl-dev uuid-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libx11-dev and python-dev. So I''ve installed all those packages, re-expanded the tarball into an empty directory and tried running make world again but this time I''m running into a different kind of problem. There are thousands of lines of output, but here''s the section at the end that seems most salient: Initialized empty Git repository in /home/sawozny/xen-4.0.1/linux-2.6-pvops.git.tmp/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 1856803, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (292454/292454), done. remote: Total 1856803 (delta 1554357), reused 1848761 (delta 1547505) Receiving objects: 100% (1856803/1856803), 368.76 MiB | 366 KiB/s, done.

Any and all assistance would be GREATLY appreciated!

RE: [Xen-users] Make world problem compiling Xen 4.0.1 from source
Hi Mark,
Thanks for the suggestion. I installed 10.04 with OpenSSH and ran through the
instructions in the post you suggested. Parts 1 and 2 seemed to go well (the
/usr/src directory by default is owned by root and only allows write to owner so
I worked under the assumption that the instructions in part 2 are expected to be
run as root) but when I got to section 3 and make prep-kernels I got another
error. Here are the results below and it looks like the same fatal git error
regarding "branch already exists" is preventing me from completing the
process and nothing really works after that. Unfortunately, I''m out of
my depth in trying to understand what''s wrong and googling the git
error doesn''t seem to produce anything relevant. There seems to be
something related to either the distro or my hardware that''s causing
compile from source to be problematic. If anyone has any suggestions on how to
get around this git problem I''d love to hear from you as I could then
go back to either installation path and try again.
Stepping back from this particular issue, I like Ubuntu, but I''m not
completely attached to it for this purpose. Does anyone have any
recommendations for a distro they''ve had better luck with installing
Xen server on? It seems to be relatively highly recommended in the community,
but I''m just not having any luck with it. Should I just get the live
CD and install it as my Xen server and then figure out my guest OSes from there?
Thanks,
Scott

RE: [Xen-users] Make world problem compiling Xen 4.0.1 from source
Just to close the loop on this, I found something in the Ubuntu forums I tried
before heading down the path you''ve described. I think it''s
basically the same thing as what you''ve suggested, I was just more
comfortable with directly editing the file.
After the untar of the source:
nano buildconfigs/src.git-clone
# Replace Line
# (cd $(LINUX_SRCDIR).tmp; git checkout -b $(XEN_LINUX_GIT_LOCALBRANCH)
$(XEN_LINUX_GITREV) ); \
# with:
# (cd $(LINUX_SRCDIR).tmp; git checkout -b local/$(XEN_LINUX_GIT_LOCALBRANCH)
--track $(XEN_LINUX_GITREV) ); \
make world
sudo make install
and everything went swimmingly. I guess there''s some sort of issue
with the source tarball as I''ve seen similar solutions posted in
multiple places all dealing with the remote vs. local branch issue. While
I''m sure your solution would have worked, this one seemed easiet for me
to implement and the makes went through without errors so I think I''m
OK now. Now to get it to boot... :)
Thanks very much!
