btier / Discussion / General Discussion: Build issues

David Clymer - 2013-03-01

I was able to build btier 0.9.9.9 on Debian 7.0 (Wheezy) w/customer 3.2.28 kernel, but the install failed because it was assuming that btier_setup was in the current directory rather than in cli/:

I was NOT able to build btier 0.9.9.9 on Debian 6.0.7 (Squeeze) w/its standard 2.6.32 kernel. Running make didn't produce any errors, but it didn't build the kernel module.

Both machines are using make v3.81, if that matters. Any idea what the difference may be? Does it just not work with the older kernel build system?

  You are not the first to report this.

  Strange, I am able to compile on Ubuntu with 2.6.32
  So it really should work with this kernel.
  
  It looks like the kernel sources are not installed or not used?
  Instead it uses kernel-headers?

Right. linux-headers-* are installed, but the sources are not. In fact, installing linux-source-* does not allow the sources to build.

Is there some reason linux-headers would be insufficient?

  The changes below allow btier to build properly for me on debian 6.0.7. This also includes fixes for the install, so that btier_setup is copied properly, and the btier_setup man page is viewable by anyone:

    Hi David,
    
    Thanks for the patch.
    Can you confirm the the attached code works/builds on all your systems?
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    Mark

      Apparently my reply didn't make it to the list, so here it is again:
      
      Yes. This patch allows me to successfully build and install btier 0.9.9.9 on Debian versions 6.0.7 (default kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64 w/kernel-headers), and Debian 7.0 using a custom 3.2 kernel & source, as well as with the standard 3.2.0-4-amd64 kernel (w/ kernel-headers).
      
      I'm actually using btier on Debian 6.0.7, but on the other two systems I have only built and installed it.
      
      The patch I've used in each case is:
      
      --- btier-0.9.9.9/Makefile 2013-02-27 06:31:28.000000000 -0500 +++ btier-0.9.9.9-mod/Makefile 2013-03-03 15:17:29.456759234 -0500 @@ -10,6 +10,7 @@ default: cd kernel/btier; make + $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD)/kernel/btier modules $(CC) -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 cli/btier_setup.c -o cli/btier_setup $(CC) tools/writetest.c -o tools/writetest clionly: @@ -31,10 +32,10 @@ install: cd kernel/btier; make install cd ../.. - install -D -m 755 btier_setup $(DEST)/sbin/btier_setup + install -D -m 755 cli/btier_setup $(DEST)/sbin/btier_setup install -D -m 755 rc/btier $(DEST)/etc/init.d/btier install -D -m 600 rc/bttab $(DEST)/etc/bttab - install -D -m 600 man/btier_setup.1 $(DEST)/usr/share/man/man1/btier_setup.1 + install -D -m 644 man/btier_setup.1 $(DEST)/usr/share/man/man1/btier_setup.1 uninstall: rm /sbin/btier_setup cd kernel/btier; make uninstall
      
      This includes changes to successfully install btier_setup, and to ensure that the btier_setup man page can be read by any user.
