Description Thorsten Leemhuis 2008-10-03 15:16:25 UTC
Description of problem:
Trying to build different external modules for ppc64 results in quite long list of errors like

In file included from include/linux/mm.h:4,
                 from include/linux/pagemap.h:7,
                 from /builddir/build/BUILD/iscsitarget-kmod-0.4.15/_kmod_build_2.6.27-0.352.rc7.git1.fc10.ppc64/kernel/iscsi.h:10,
                 from /builddir/build/BUILD/iscsitarget-kmod-0.4.15/_kmod_build_2.6.27-0.352.rc7.git1.fc10.ppc64/kernel/tio.c:7:

dwmw2> | I wonder if it's fallout from include/asm-foo moving to arch/foo/include/asm ?
knurd> | dwmw2, you might remember, I'm not a programmer, but I gurss you are right; kernel-devel.ppc64 on rawhide only contains one file in include/asm/; kernel-devel.x86_64 has a lot more in that directtory, including errno.h
dwmw2> | that sounds like the problem
knurd> | I guess I'll file a bug then; or do you want to take care of it?
dwmw2> | file a bug, assign it to me.
dwmw2> | hm, it's because x86 is lagging behind and hasn't moved from include/asm-$ARCH yet

Comment 1 Thorsten Leemhuis 2008-10-19 12:10:33 UTC
reopening, as afaics still unfixed; log of two failed builds can be found here:
http://buildsys.rpmfusion.org/logs/fedora-development-rpmfusion_free/1375-em8300-kmod-0.17.2-0.1.rc1.fc10.1/ppc/build.log
http://buildsys.rpmfusion.org/logs/fedora-development-rpmfusion_free/1376-em8300-kmod-0.17.2-0.1.rc1.fc10.1/ppc64/build.log

The patch that was supposed to fix this afaics was the second part of this commit:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewvc/rpms/kernel/devel/kernel.spec?r1=1.1007&r2=1.1008 ; e.g. this code:

> if [ -d arch/%{_arch}/include ]; then
>    cp -a --parents arch/%{_arch}/include   \
>        $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/lib/modules/$KernelVer/build/
> fi

That code afaics has a small bug: %{_arch} is and rpm macro that becomes "ppc" or "ppc64"; but the directory that holds the files that are missing is arch/powerpc/include/

Comment 2 David Woodhouse 2008-10-20 10:44:37 UTC
Hm, I copied the arch/%{_arch}/ bit from a few lines further up. That one seems only to be required on IA64 though, where %{_arch} and $Arch will always be equal. I'll "fix" it anyway, to prevent anyone else from copying it and making the same mistake in future.

Comment 3 David Woodhouse 2008-10-20 13:57:24 UTC
Should be fixed properly this time, in kernel-2.6.27.3-31.rc1.fc10.
Thanks.

Comment 4 Kyle McMartin 2008-12-09 00:52:07 UTC
Sadly, the previous fix wasn't enough for x86 at least, should be fixed in rawhide in the upcoming build.

cheers, Kyle
