kernel compilation via ABS: line 560 error

mr_brightside · 2005-09-05 10:22:01

I'll tell you everything that's happened, so you're up to scratch

I installed arch a couple of days ago, fell in love since it's got speed without long compile times. My audigy 2 value wouldn't work, despite me building a kernel from source upon installation from the base ISO, which I made sure included ALSA statically and emu10k1 as well. I still haven't fixed this; my kernel version is 2.6.10, and i've got an nforce2 mobo. Alsa defaults to the nforce2 for sound, and alsaconf reckons it can't find any PCI soundcards.

Anyway, I'll try and overcome this at some point on my own; my nforce2 will suffice for the moment. My problem now is recompiling the kernel; I'm a regular slackware and gentoo user, so know a fair bit, but I want to learn how to compile the kernel via ABS... this is where things aren't working now, lol :cry:

Following the wiki guide, I made a directory /var/abs/local/kernel26-custom . In this, i saved the following PKBUILD:

###### Give the kernel a unique name (for multiple builds - can be empty)
_kerrev=

###### Choose generic name, version, and release. updated later for $_kerrev
pkgname=kernel26
pkgver=2.6.12
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Custom Linux Kernel and modules"
url="http://www.kernel.org"
depends=('module-init-tools')
###### Add a default config file and any patches to be applied to source array
source=(ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
###### Add md5 checksums here:
#md5sums=()

getvar() {
old=$(cat Makefile || grep "^$1")
echo $(echo ${old/"$1 ="/} || sed -e "s/[[ ]]*(.*)[[ ]]*/1/g")
return 0
}

build() {
cd $startdir/src/linux-$pkgver

###### apply patches here
# patch -p1 < ../patch1 #model

#get rid of i in i686 in default config
carch=`echo $CARCH || sed 's||i|||'`
cat ../config || sed "s||#CARCH#||$carch||g" >./.config

if [[ $_kerrev != "" ]]; then
''ker''extraversion="$''ker''extraversion-$_kerrev"

mv linux-$kerver linux-$kerver$_kerrev
cd $startdir/pkg/lib/modules/$kerver$_kerrev &&
(rm -f build; ln -sf /usr/src/linux-$kerver$_kerrev build)
}

I then ran makepkg in this directory, and get the following error:

[root@teardrop kernel26-custom]# makepkg

I've tried doing things slightly differently about 4 times now, and nothing's changed; plus searches in these forums haven't turned up anything useful, sadly, and neither has a lengthy google search.

I'd be grateful for help; if I can get past this stage, I know there's a patch for the kernel I'm trying to compile (2.6.12, as you've seen in PKGBUILD) to get emu10k1 soundcards to work, so hopefully everything can be sorted...

Thanks for your time.

if build isn't found it most probbaly is some syntax problem within build(). at a first glance i can tell you shouldn't escape all quotes no matter what.

echo "Package name: $pkgname"

should be:

echo "Package name: $pkgname"

or

echo "Package name: ${pkgname}"

Thanks for the reply kth5.

I made the changes you suggested; the PKGBUILD now reads as follows:

pkgver=2.6.12
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Custom Linux Kernel and modules"
url="http://www.kernel.org"
depends=('module-init-tools')
###### Add a default config file and any patches to be applied to source array
