kernel location is what it should be, but I still get
all these errors.  I'm not sure what's going on, other
than it can't find the lvm and liblvm header files,
which are in a directory below the current one:

Make sure /usr/src/linux is a link to the proper kernel your
editing/configuring.  I had the same problem but it turned out my linux
link was pointing back to my 2.2.14 kernel, which I was actively hacking
on at the time. :)

Hi Chris,

the variable TOP in your '/root/lvmstuff/LVM/0.8final/make.tmpl' is set
to '/root/LVM/0.8final', as you could see in following snipped from your
make-errors file:

cc -c -pipe -Wall -O2 -DDEBUG -I/root/LVM/0.8final/tools/lib
-I/root/LVM/0.8fina
l/tools -o basename.o basename.c
cc -c -pipe -Wall -O2 -DDEBUG -I/root/LVM/0.8final/tools/lib
-I/root/LVM/0.8fina
l/tools -o debug.o debug.c
basename.c:34: liblvm.h: No such file or directory

the -I options in the gcc line are expanded from '-I$(TOP)/tools/lib
-I$(TOP)'. You should control your changes in config files at first when
your're searching for errors before you start symlinking around ;-).

Bye
Klaus

[linux-lvm] building the binary utilities

[Chris Campbell]

I got a patched kernel to compile ok, but now I have
problems building the binary lvm utilities.  There are
errors about not being about to find lvm.h and
liblvm.h.  I copied them to /usr/include, and then it
got farther but complained about gnu/types.h.  After
symlinking that, I got an error about lots of
redeclarations.  What's going on?  Thanks.



Chris

At least for glibc2.1 you need a patch for the user mode tools,
otherwise compile fails. Please install patch patch-lvm_0.8final-2

For a list of know issues please have a look at
http://linux.msede.com/lvm/doc/BUGS

Instead of copying lvm.h to /usr/include you should modify the
KERNEL_LOCATION in make.tmpl. By default it assumes your kernel 
sources in /usr/src/linux.


Hope this helps
Michael
