Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Problem compiling vmlinux.lds.S

[Reid S. <RSp...@do...>]

I didn't modify any of the build environment code. However, I did
reconfigure several times and consequently removed some
tmp/.done_build_* files to get added things to build again (instead of
being skipped).  It would be nice if build.sh did that for you on
"menuconfig" if the .config file already exists and you add something
that has an existing tmp/.done_build_* file.  I might prepare a patch
for that unless its already fixed in 1.3

 

My build host system is:  

Linux dev 2.6.24-19-server #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:44:47 UTC 2008 x86_64
GNU/Linux

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy 

I don't have SELinux, Exec-Shield, GRSecurity or PAX on the build host

Nothing special here .. can I build on a 64-bit host?

 

My lfssystem was unpacked after downloading from here:

 
ftp://ftp.univ-lille1.fr/pub/os/linux/distributions/devil-linux/devel/so
urces/lfssystem-for-DL-1.0_and_up/lfssystem-cvs-20030127-i486-stripped.t
ar.bz2 

 

However, please note that the sources/1.2 directory on that FTP server
are *wrong* (different from ftp.hotze.com) so I'm wondering if the
lfssystem is broken too?

 

BTW, how long before the main FTP server is functioning again? I'd like
to "update_src" but every time I do (and point it to #1), it just fails
on connection and keeps retrying.

 

Reid.

Quoting Reid Spencer <RSp...@do...>:

	I?ve managed to get devil-linux building all the way to the
linux kernel. Most of that builds but it fails with:

	make[2]: Leaving directory
`/build/tmp/linux-2.4.36.6/arch/i386/lib'

	gcc  -D__KERNEL__ -I/build/tmp/linux-2.4.36.6/include -e stext
arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S   -o arch/i386/vmlinux.lds

	arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S: Assembler messages:

	arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S:4: Error: invalid character '_' in
mnemonic

	arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S:5: Error: invalid character '_' in
mnemonic

	arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S:6: Error: invalid character '(' in

	arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S:8: Error: no such instruction: `phdrs {'

	arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S:9: Error: no such instruction: `initdata
PT_LOAD FLAGS(6)'

	?.

	It?s like gcc doesn?t understand a loader script.  I?ve never
run into this before building Linux and don?t know enough about it to
debug.

	Any ideas?

Did you do any modifications to the build environment?

What Host OS are you using?

Which lfssystem?
