Re: [Xen-users] Building XEN with different config PROBLEM

["Chris Fanning" <christopher.fanning@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steffen,


rm -rf xen-3.1.0-src
tar xzf xen-3.1.0-src.tgz
cd xen-3.1.0-src
mkdir -p dist/install/boot
cp ../config/$1/xen0 dist/install/boot/config-2.6.18-xen0
cp ../config/$1/xenU dist/install/boot/config-2.6.18-xenU
make KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU" dist
cd dist/
tar czf ../../dist/$1-xen3.1.tgz .
cd ../..
rm -rf xen-3.1.0-src

I've tried your script with a bogus config and got used. :) !

this didn't work Philip.

A couple of doubts.

tar czf ../../dist/$1-xen3.1.tgz .
creates a file in /usr/src/dist
the ./install.sh will install on my local machine, right?


But, how can I patch the kernel (at a later date) and install the changes?
I used to do
make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig
make linux-2.6-xen-build
make linux-2.6-xen-install
:(

What do you think the proceedure is now?

In your script you finish with a
rm -rf xen-3.1.0-src

If I want to patch a against the source tree I must keep the
xen-3.1.0-src directory and then do
cd /usr/src/xen-3.1.0-src/linux-2.6.18-xen
patch -p1 < patch.file

Now I must change your script like this?
make KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU" build
make KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU" install

Does that sound right?

Thanks once again,
Chris.
