Problems compiling kernel from ABS, patches not found. [solved]

simongmzlj · 2008-11-06 03:10:45

I'm trying to compile a special kernel for an old desktop of mine that I thought I'd try to convert into a personal router. Trying to make the kenel26 package from ABS fails to build on the desktop (latest version; unmodified PKGBUILD). Interestingly enough, same files build just fine on my laptop.

When I build on my desktop, ABS complains it can't find the patches. Looking at the src folder I can confirm they are there, but they never get extracted. I have both patch and bzip2 installed from pacman. Changing the PGKBUILD lines from

patch -Np1 <PATCH> || return 1

to

bzip2 -d -c <PATCH>.bz2 | patch -Np1 || return 1

makes it work all of a sudden. The build still fails on other should-be-valid lines in the PKGBUILD after that fix (can't remember of the top of my head).

I've read the Arch Wiki's ABS documentation quite extensively. As I said the same PKGBUILD works on my laptop, and both my desktop and laptop would have the same version of building utilities installed. Is there something I'm missing or is there some sort of a misconfiguration? Or is this an indication of a bug somewhere?

One issue is that your patch command is missing the --input flag. It needs to look like the code below.

Of course, this still won't work if the patch isn't being extracted. I can't think of why that's happening unless it's been added to the noextract array somehow. Can you post the PKGBUILD?

patch -Np1 -i $srcdir/my-patch.diff || return 1

simongmzlj · 2008-11-06 04:55:25

Here it is. It's straight from AUR untouched. This --input flag was always there, my bad for missing it on the post.

The PKGBUILD tries to apply the -ARCH patch called $_patchname, which is defined as patch-2.6.27.4-1-ARCH. Your source array has been changed to download kernel.org's patch-2.6.27.4 instead of Arch's patch-2.6.27.4-1-ARCH. That's why makepkg says it can't find the patch. If you didn't change this, sync your abs with `sudo abs` and grab a new copy. Your source array should look something like this (note the 2nd url, as well as the preset file that was also missing):

source=(ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-$_basekernel.tar.bz2
        ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/kernel26/${_patchname}.bz2
        http://wifi.ozo.com/airo/openwrt/firmware/kamikaze/2.6/x86/testing/mac80211-patches/patches-2.6.27/working/full/007-ath5k-ap-mode.patch
        # the main kernel config files
        config config.x86_64
        # standard config files for mkinitcpio ramdisk
        kernel26.preset)

Then you apply the ath5k patch by adding this line below the -ARCH patch line:

patch -Np1 -i $srcdir/007-ath5k-ap-mode.patch || return 1

However, when I run it, the patch bzip file downloads. It sits in the src folder. For some darn reason it won't extract. Wouldn't the makepkg command stop anyways if it can't find a sourcefile? Or am I missing something? The thing is that this PKGBUILD works on my laptop.

Oh, so it sounds like you changed it on purpose? It downloads the file because it's in the source array. However, the patch command does not call it. The patch command calls the variable ${_patchname}, which is patch-2.6.27.4-1-ARCH, not patch-2.6.27.4.

If you want to use the kernel.org patch, you'll have to change this line:

 patch -Np1 -i $startdir/src/${_patchname} || return 1

to this:

 patch -Np1 -i $startdir/src/patch-$pkgver || return 1

or you could redefine the variable directly by changing _patchname="patch-${pkgver}-${pkgrel}-ARCH" to:

_patchname="patch-$pkgver"

If you're using this exact same PKGBUILD on your laptop and it builds fine, I can't think of how that's possible unless your laptop has previously downloaded the -ARCH patch and it's still in the src dir.

I don't know why it only extracts the kernel source. I can only suspect it's related to running makepkg as root. Copy the kernel26 folder to a local folder and see if it still happens when you build in there.

simongmzlj · 2008-11-06 06:08:25

I was defiantly running as root. never bothered to set up another account. I'll try as another user now. Why would running as root cause a problem like this?

creslin · 2008-11-06 06:15:08

I don't really know for sure.. it's only my best guess. Maybe it has something to do with fakeroot issues on the root account. I don't know the inner workings of these things.

simongmzlj · 2008-11-06 06:17:07

Still doesn't work. However, interestingly enough, when I tried it as a newly created user it complained fakeroot wasn't installed. Installed fakeroot but it still errors out at the same spot.

creslin · 2008-11-06 06:21:01

If you didn't have fakeroot, then you haven't installed the base-devel group. I don't know if it will fix this specific issue, but you still need to install base-devel for makepkg.

simongmzlj · 2008-11-06 06:25:16

I installed fakeroot before I tested it away from root. I have the following base-devel packages installed: diffutils, ed, fakeroot, gcc, make, and patch. I'll install the rest and test.

simongmzlj · 2008-11-06 06:30:12

No good, installing the whole base-devel didn't help

creslin · 2008-11-06 06:40:35

Just to recap, it still fails after these steps?

Install base-devel as root:

# pacman -Sy base-devel

Sync abs as root:

# abs

Copy the kernel26 abs folder to a local folder as a regular user:

$ cp -r /var/abs/core/kernel26  ~/builds/

Run makepkg as a regular user:

$ cd ~/builds/kernel26
$ makepkg

If this still gives you the same error, I'm out of ideas.. maybe someone else can figure it out in the morning

Okay, well something was seriously wrong with my system. I don't know what, I still don't know why I was having the problem I was having, but turns out the system wouldn't even boot up after I rebooted it. Wiped it, reinstalled fresh, everything is working find now.

Thanks for the help.
