sys-cluster/pvfs2-2.7.1 fails to build when there is no .config in /usr/src/linux even when KBUILD_OUTPUT is set in /etc/make.conf step to reproduce results Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1) USE="symlink" emerge gentoo-sources 2) insert a line in the format 'KBUILD_OUTPUT="/home/user/tmp/gentoo-2.6.24-r8"' in /etc/make.conf 3) build a kernel in /home/user/tmp/gentoo-2.6.24-r8 4) emerge pvfs2 Actual Results: pvfs2 does no build citing a missing kernel config. Expected Results: pvfs2 should build and install This is a problem with the ebuild not passing the value of KBUILD_OUTPUT to pvfs2s ./configure . My tests suggest that passing the argument '--with-kernel=$KBUILD_OUTPUT' would cause pvfs2 to build/install correctly. I'll work on an ebuild in a bit

The new ebuild (see previous attachment) works provided '/etc/make.conf's KBUILD_OUTPUT points to a properly prepared linux source and build tree. It should also work for people who don't set that variable, but I have not tested it. It is past my modest abilties to make it work when KBUILD_OUTPUT points to a properly configure linux build tree sans source. This can probably have its status changed.
Created attachment 154539 [details] pvfs2-2.7.1-r1.ebuild Can you try this ebuild instead? I think we should be using KV_OUT_DIR in this ebuild which pretty much does what you're doing with the if statements. I'll play with the build error in a bit, but let me know if the new ebuild works so we can at least get that in the tree? Thanks
Yes, it works great, it's also probably how I might have implemented it if I knew what (the heck) I was doing.
(In reply to comment #5) > Yes, it works great, it's also probably how I might have implemented it if I > knew what (the heck) I was doing. > Well I implemented it wrong first :) This fix has been committed to the tree without a revbump as it won't affect anyone who already have pvfs2 installed. For your other problem, the issue can be blamed on you building out of the kernel tree again. Pvfs2 uses the m4 macros in maint/config/kernel.m4 to deal with the moving internal API of the kernel. This works well enough typically until someone starts using KBUILD_OUTPUT. I asked Daniel Drake for advice, and basically the best way to fix this is to go through the check in kernel.m4, figure out which version of the kernel they were implemented in, and use the preprocessor instead of the macros to deal with this stuff (not too bad if you know the versions as this code is already wrapped in preprocessor statements). If you're ambitious, this is probably a good project and something I'll try to eventually get around to myself if no one else does it. Until then, KBUILD_OUTPUT isn't going to work with pvfs2. If you have less ambition than the above, but want a fix soon, you could report this to upstream via their users mailing list :)
saw this when I ran 'emerge -pv pvfs2' checked my old bug tracker entries. Since pvfs2 is going away today I'll preemptively close this. The following mask changes are necessary to proceed: #required by pvfs2 (argument) # /Daemon/packager/portage/tree/profiles/package.mask: # Justin Bronder <jsbronder@gentoo.org> (09 May 2011) # # Out of tree kernel module and upstream does not closely # track kernel release (current 2.8.2 only supports up to # 2.6.32). There are alternatives already accepted in # the kernel such as Ceph or OCFS2. (#337374) # # Removal on 2011-07-09 >=sys-cluster/pvfs2-2.7.1-r1
