Problem building kernel with makepkg

dtw · 2004-09-21 09:01:49

works fine

the only difference is the substitution of 24 for 26 where necessary and adding "dep" to the make commands.

that was it - works perfectly

with the patches - should i post my efforts on the wiki and then we can collectively edit it?

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … %20ABS-2.4

My efforts are here and some people have been editing them - anyone know who?

I've recently seen some SPAM beeing added to the Wiki (same thing happened to my Wiki). The last revisions are from removing spam, the others - I don't know.

dtw · 2004-12-09 04:13:35

does the current custom PKGBUILD on the wiki cater for the new 2.6.9?

I tried to use my modified version last night and got some screwy results - largely due to this in the config, i think:

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-ARCH"

This is new isn't it? How does this affect this custom PKGBUILD - i'd love to know cos i have lots of kernels to compile, please!

The PKGBUILD in the Wikipage does not work with the current version, as I have recently changed my computer & compiled myself 2.6.9-nitro3 with a roughly modified version of that PKGBUILD.

Problems indeed come from the recent use of LOCAL_VERSION="-ARCH".
I'm trying to update http://wiki2.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … with%20ABS to make use of that variable, but I'm currently in the middle of my exams (I've got one tomorrow).

I'll try to find some time and upload a new version soon.

Hmm...
Lots of pages about the Kernel in the Wiki... looks a little bit like a mess...

i modified my own from the stock kernel - how is this for starters?

ok - the above does not work with patches that add their own EXTRAVERSION info as this is automatically used in the name of the modules dir - this build works perfectly - you just have to remeber/check not to include any patchset EXTRAVERSION in your LOCALVERSION setting!

i have done several builds with this

i added in the buildstats file to help me quickly keep track of what options i had used and the time it took to build - clearly these are easily removed or edited to output to the term instead
