Description Stephen Drye 2003-09-18 15:52:24 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

Description of problem:
When I load the shipped configs/kernel-2.4.21-i686.config, save&exit and
"make dep bzImage", the kernel compile fails.

It seems to be related to the IPSec options under networking config.

The error is:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-1.1931.2.423.ent/include/net/esp.h:49:
'crypto_hmac_update' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[3]: *** [xfrm_algo.o] Error 1


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-source-2.4.21-1.1931.2.423.ent

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.make mrproper
2.make xconfig
3.load the kernel-2.4.21-i686.config
4. save and exit
5. make dep
6. make bzImage


Additional info:

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2003-09-18 16:06:26 EDT

does it work if you do make oldconfig after make xconfig ?
(if so, make xconfig gets some dependency resolution wrong)

Comment 2 Stephen Drye 2003-09-18 16:50:44 EDT

I did:
- make mrproper
- make xconfig
- loaded the config
- save & exit
- make oldconfig (here it prompted me for a few items, which I just used the
default for)
- make dep

make bzImage completed successfully this time.

Comment 3 Ernie Petrides 2005-06-03 20:07:31 EDT

Hi, Stephen.

The correct build-from-source procedure is as follows:

  1) make mrproper
  2) cp configs/kernel-2.4.21-i686-smp.config .config  [or some other config]
  3) make oldconfig
  4) make dep
  5) make bzImage
  6) make modules

Using "make xconfig" is not supported.

Cheers.  -ernie
