Bug 197071 – sys-kernel/xen-sources-2.6.20-r6 won't compile

• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description t35t0r 2007-10-25 19:35:35 UTC]

/usr/src/linux-2.6.20-xen-r6/arch/i386/mm/hypervisor.c:449: error: expected ')' before '.' token
make[2]: *** [arch/i386/mm/hypervisor.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/i386/mm] Error 2
make: *** [_all] Error 2

using this http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xen_and_Gentoo as a guide. I ran:

alias make0="mkdir -p _dom0 && make O=_dom0"
make0 && make0 modules_install

and it didn't get very far.

Another strange thing is that after I ran "make0 menuconfig" and tried "make0 -j2 && make0 modules_install" it complained that the build tree wasn't clean and to run "make mrproper". I ran "make0 mrproper" and "make mrproper", did "cp /boot/config.dom0 _dom0/.config" and ran make0 -j2 again. This time it stopped here:

Turn of Paravirtulization support (CONFIG_PARAVIRT), it is not used by Xen in this version of the kernel. I need to disable that option completely, there is actually nothing in 2.6.20 that uses it.

Dropped version. Try .29 or .31 :)
