Compile/build problem in Red Hat 9.0

Compile/build problem in Red Hat 9.0

[Richard Herbert Wanner]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1413 bytes --]

I am trying to build the SE-Linux 2.4 kernel on Red Hat 9.0.  The make does not generate any obvious errors, (but there are .o files missing, and when we try to compile dummy.c by hand, it fails), but the make module_install fails.

Here is the tail end of the console for the make module_install (sorry, I didn't capture the make console)

make[2]: Entering  directory '/tmp/linux-2.4/drivers/net'
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.21-selinux2/kernel/drivers/net/
cp dummy.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-selinux2/kernel/drivers/net/
cp: cannot stat 'dummy.o': No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [_modinst_] Error 1


Anybody have any idea what I can do to resolve this?

Looks like the net drivers haven't been built, or not built properly - its
just the kernel, not an SELinux specific problem. Go back and 'make
menuconfig' - making sure the appropriate net modules are enabled. Then
run the usual:

make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make install
make modules_install

Checking that each completes successfully.

Thanks.  These steps are quite a bit different from the ones in the docs in the usr package. Did I miss something?
The 2.6 docs and the 2.4 docs look the same, am I using the wrong ones?

The docs in the usr package in the 2.4 bundle say.

	cd linux-2.4
	make menuconfig
	make 
	make modules_install
	make install

Thanks again.

Rick

Sorry, the 2.4 and 2.6 SELinux share the same userland archive,
including build instructions, but the instructions currently only
describe what to do for 2.6.  The kernel build process has changed for
2.6, hence the difference.
