The --kerneldir argument isn't working. The culprit is either gen_cmdline.sh or gen_determineargs.sh, depending on the author's personal preference. gen_cmdline.sh:413 says: --kerneldir=*) CMD_KERNELDIR=.... and gen_determineargs.sh:73 says: set_config_with_override 2 KERNEL_DIR CMD_KERNEL_DIR "${DEFAULT_KERNEL_SOURCE}" So, they're out of sync. They need to agree on which of CMD_KERNELDIR or CMD_KERNEL_DIR is correct. As the attached patch will demonstrate, changing CMD_KERNEL_DIR to CMD_KERNELDIR in gen_determineargs.sh will do the job. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rm $DEFAULT_KERNEL_SOURCE (defined according to /etc/genkernel.conf) 2. genkernel --kerneldir=/path/to/kernel all 3. SPLAT Actual Results: * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.9_pre9 * Running with options: --kerneldir=/usr/src/linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r3 --no-clean --lvm all * ERROR: kernel source directory "/usr/src/linux" was not found! Expected Results: Find directory specified by --kerneldir override and attempt to build.
Created attachment 137664 [details, diff] Fix --kerneldir on genkernel-3.4.9_pre9-r1
Bah, couldn't you have filed this 30 minutes earlier? We just did a release for another trivial fix :)
Created attachment 137767 [details, diff] Version of above that is (slightly) more consistent with the rest of the code. Actually, although this isn't the only remaining inconsistency, most of the variables adhere to the following standard: Arch default: DEFAULT_X Config file override: X Command variable: CMD_X The attached patch, which is a proposed replacement for the previous patch, stays closer to that convention. Thanks for finding and fixing one of my bugs. - John
I've applied the second patch in SVN. Thanks.
This is fixed in 3.4.9_pre12, so please try it out and report back any problems.
