Kernel compilation error for cloneconfig in SuSE 10.1

[David Keller-3]

Hello

Since the non-gpl-kernel modules are missing in SuSE 10.1, I tried to
build libafs of the OpenAFS-package from source for i386. This requires
the configured and at least partially built kernel source in
/usr/src/linux. So I got the package kernel-source with YaST.
uname -r says: 2.6.16.13-4-default.
gcc -v : gcc version 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux)

In /usr/src/linux I run
> make cloneconfig
> make module modules_prepare
as root. This results in the following compilation error:

CHK /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.21-0.13/include/linux/version.h

Does anyone know how to fix this problem or is there somewhere a binary
version of libafs for SuSE 10.1?
Thanks

It sounds almost like your gcc installation is messed up.

http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/GCC-HOWTO.html
says:
"Files such as <float.h>, <limits.h>, <varargs.h>, <stdarg.h> and
<stddef.h> vary according to the compiler version, so are found
in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-box-linux/2.7.2/include/ and places of that
ilk."

that's where i found stdarg.h on my system (Suse 10.1):

stephan@owl:/usr/lib/gcc> find . -name '*stdarg*'
./i586-suse-linux/4.1.0/include/stdarg.h

Thanks for this. It looks exactly the same on my box. So the problem is
not yet fixed. Do you have any suggestion how to include these sources.
Apparently there is no problem when compiling other targets with this gcc.

Have you got everything installed (development libraries for instance)
for building the kernel?

I've just repeated your exercise of

make cloneconfig
make modules modules_prepare,

and it works fine.  (SUSE 10.1, kernel 2.6.16.11-4-smp).

yes, I think so:
kernel
kernel-sources
gcc
libgcc
binutils and so on
The "missing" header is in fact there.

May it be a different setting of the PATH or some other environment
variable?
My installation comes out of the box, I just installed it.

Mine too - or at least with vary few changes.

Try doing a complete make first, then the "make modules
modules_prepare".  I think I've seen something similar before which was
due to something not having been set up correctly until I'd done a full
build.

Hi,

I finally resolved the problem: It seem's something was screwed up with
my environment variables, $CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH and $LIBRARY_PATH were
defined. After removing them the kernel compiles fine.

Thanks to all
David Keller
