I am builing the kernel version 2.6.10-1.1121_FC4 on a sony vaio PCG GRV550 Laptop with pentium 4 processor.On Fri, 2005-02-04 at 22:46 -0600, S B wrote:
Hi all, I made an attempt to custom build a kernel from the src.rpm. I followed the tutorial by Kevin Hobbs to complete the task. I have several questions with the build process. I did read a couple of tutorials before I actually build the kernel.
1. The build process failed at prep when I tried to build the binaries. rpmbuild -bb --target=i686 ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel-2.*.spec .
I followed the tutorial (Kernel Compilation Tutorial-Kevin Hobbs)
step by step but could not build the kernerl.
What error message did you get?
2. So, I decided to build the binaries directly without rpmbuild -bp step. So i installed the src.rpm,
then rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel-2.*.spec. This went
smooth, except it took more
than a couple of hours to build the rpms.
So, is it normal for the build process to take this long?
Depends on machine you're building on, but I'd say "yes".
Why did the build process fail via the first method? (I should be able to provide more information on this, I do not have the tmp files right now)
The error messages you get would be necessary to diagnose this.
Paul.
I do not know how much of the output is going to be needed; I am going to paste the end part of the rpmbuild -bb command here.
