275.0. "fwd:Kernel-build help!!" by SMURF::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Sat Aug 14 1993 16:45

Can anyone in 'buildhelp' address Linda's questions with any more info?

Linda, look in /usr/sde/osf1/doc/kernel-build-rules for some help
on building pieces of the full kernel environment.  Also, you can
remove your obj/alpha/kernel/ directory, do a "mklinks kernel" under
obj/alpha, and then build -- you'll only get the new objs that you
need.

Also, in general, for build questions, send mail to 'buildhelp' - this
will get you a much wider audience (including me and my group but others
in the kernel group for example).

Hi -
I need to do a kernel build to validate an assembler change & I'm
having some problems.

One problem is disk space.
With the command: "cd kernel; build" are numerous kernels built?
Is there a way to build just one kernel?

Is there any up-to-date documentation on doing kernel builds?
The doc. I have is rather dated & doesn't seem to work.
Ah, but it is Friday the 13th!

The build needs to be done to get an exception request through
the hoops real-soon-now.
If you happen to dial in this weekend & have any helpful hints,
please pass them on!  Otherwise, see you Monday :-)

Thanks -
Linda

Linda,

  cd kernel; build;  will build all the standard kernels.

  to build a FLAMINGO kernel; you could do the following. 

   build setup BINARY FLAMINGO     --

Subj: 	Re:  fwd:Kernel-build help!!

One caution on the mklinks kernel approach.  There are a couple of source
files that get copied to the obj tree as part of the build which can
occasionally fool the build into not picking up your changes.  Use
mklinks to save space, but if things don't work quite as you expected,
blow away any .c files you find under ../obj/alpha/kernel and rebuild.

Paula's suggestion about only building one of the kernels is a good
one, but you might prefer "cd kernel; build setup BINARY GENERIC".

We want people to build and test all the kernels, though, so how can
we get you some more disk space?

	Hi Caroline,

	I just discovered that I must have somehow defunct'd 
/usr/sbin/Makefile out of the cluster sandbox a few weeks or so ago and now 
I'm on everyone's shit list.  Can you help me please-please-please!
