I have tried “touch .config” and it works. I provided the error messages as FYI in case you guys needed it.

Yes, as Ian Jackson has noted, this is because the fix for this in xen-unstable has not been backported. I think Ian Jackson may be proposing to do the backport. If not, you’ll just have to manually ‘touch .config’ at the root of your Xen repository, and get on with that.

Hi Juergen,
This patch fixes the build problem for xen-unstable but do not apply to xen-4.1-testing. Xen-4.1-testing do not have xfs directory and still has the same build error.

I’m using the latest staging tree (cs# 23903) and still seeing this problem.
Uuh, the same bug was introduced again.
Could you try the following patch:
diff -r 0b66e6450ffe tools/libfsimage/xfs/Makefile
--- a/tools/libfsimage/xfs/Makefile Tue Oct 04 14:18:30 2011 +0200
+++ b/tools/libfsimage/xfs/Makefile Thu Oct 06 06:32:00 2011 +0200
@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ XEN_ROOT = ../../..
-XEN_ROOT = ../../..
+XEN_ROOT = $(CURDIR)/../../..
LIB_SRCS-y = fsys_xfs.c
Keir, it is easy to catch this problem: create a .config file in all directories
_above_ $XEN_ROOT containing something like:
$(error usage of relative XEN_ROOT somewhere in $(MAKEFILE_LIST))

Hi Keir,
I’m getting the following build error caused by “-include $(XEN_ROOT)/.config” line in Config.mk. Removing it from Config.mk makes the error go away. The OS I’m using is FC15. “$(XEN_ROOT)/.config” does not exist.

This is fixed with cs 23049 in xen-unstable:
