Ok, as i can compile the newest version of the official gentoo-openmosix kernel ( sys-kernel/openmosix-sources Latest version available: 2.4.20-r3) without no problems on my gcc-3.2.2 and glibc-2.3.1-r4 system I'd ask you to include some more information: - Output from "emerge info" - Version of the sources you tried to compile - Attach the .config file you used <quote> So here is my requirements: Couldn't it be possible to add a new entry to the sys-kernel directory? a gentoo-openmosix-sources with: the patches to be applied to the vanilla kernel to have it built on Gentoo (gcc 3.2.2) + the openmosix code. </quote> I don't know what you mean with this. We have openmosix-sources in the sys-kernel directory. Well, I do not have my Gentoo Linux box here at the moment. Besides, since then I tried to reinstall it using the gentoo-source kernel instead (without success either, I have exactly the same kind of problems, some modules do not build (see bug report 18969)). I did my experiments on april 7th. By that time I think it was openmosix 2.4.20-r2, but this remain to be checked and confirmed (that should be easy with the dates of the .ebuild files). About my .config file. I had several and none of them worked.... I join one that should demonstrate the problem. It is based on the RedHat 2.4.20 kernel. I added the gentoo-linux options and by loading it with the kernel option configurator (menuconfig I think is the name of the program), the basic openmosix flags should be automatically added. Now try to compile it (By then I used the defaults options for the architecture and the optimization (i686, -O2)) and see if it works. What was I refering too in my bug report? I was wondering if the openmosix kernel was: - A vanilla kernel + openmosix add-on - A vanilla kernel + pactches + openmosix add-on Considering the problems I had, I came to the conclusion that I was dealing with the first option and I was simply proposing to add the second one. One named for instance : gentoo-openmosix-source or whatever. Created attachment 10670 [details]
As requested, my .config file
Here is a typical .config file I am using.
It is modular and I like this feature. I am neither skilled enough nor
intressed enough to create by myself a .config file. I borrowed the .config
file of the redhat kernels (I like its modular nature) and I tried to adapt it
to gentoo linux (according to what is written on the installation manual).
Unfortunately, it seems that some of the modules chosen do not compile
correctly. The .config file simply triggers compilation problems (openmosix and
gentoo-source as well).
Problems look like general problems from the openmosix-patchset which is known to not compile is some kernel options are enabled. Closing this bug. |
