Please attach the build log. (In reply to Robert White from comment #0) > > eudev says "could not detect kernel version" and exits. > I'm confused here. At what point is eudev throwing this error? Can you give steps to reproduce. This is happening to me now.

There is nothing for eudev to do here, ie its nothing in the eudev build systems that's causing this. If this is a bug (and it may not be as there may be a problem with the source tree at rezk), it has to be fixed in the eclass. Any ebuild which inherits linux-info.eclass would throw the same error. The maintainer of the eclass is kernel@gentoo.org. I'm going to switch this to INVALID. What I recommend you do is talk to the folk at #gentoo-kernel and determine whether or not this is a bug and not a problem with the source tree. I suspect it has something to do with calling linux-info_pkg_setup followed by get_running_version. Most ebuilds do not do this. There's probably also something weird going on with KERNEL_DIR and KBUILD_OUTPUT on the systems where the problem occurs. Insufficient information has been provided to really debug that. Solved. I poked around some more and discovered... I was running kernel 5.3.10, but /usr/src/linux contained source for 5.3.11, I had removed source for 5.3.10. Solved. I poked around some more and discovered... I was running kernel 5.3.10, but /usr/src/linux contained source for 5.3.11, I had removed source for 5.3.10. After rebooting into the 5.3.11 kernel, eudev installs just fine. So, maybe a more descriptive error message would help? |
I build my kernels using the out-of-source-tree build method, where the source tree and the build results tree do not comingle. e.g. (simplified here) # plumbing mkdir /usr/src/local_kernel ln -s /usr/src/local_kernel /usr/src/linux # install sources emerge =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.1.8 # configure and build cd /usr/src/linux-5.1.8-gentoo-sources make O=/usr/src/local_kernel menuconfig make O=/usr/src/local_kernel all # etc ASIDE: I do this so that I can swap out local_kernel directories or btrfs subvolumes, and so that emerge can clean up the source directories and blah and blah and blah. 8-) So far every other package that searches for the kernel sources and binaries works with this flawlessly, having no trouble finding the makefiles and whatont. eudev says "could not detect kernel version" and exits. I suspect eudev is ignoring the "source" (q.v. simply resolving "/usr/src/linux/source") when looking for particular distribution files and/or not doing the make business. Note that if I cobble an overlayfs at /usr/src/linux that is a stack of the relevant source and local_kernel directory trees I can build the package without modifying either directory. Also Note: This has been noted with several different kernel versions, not just 5.1.8, so it's not related to the kernel version or some quirk of the build method.
