[LARTC] Re: [LARTC} how can I compile tc

[John Baker]

Ok, I tried it out but for some reason it doesn't take for the compile 
process. This is, after export KERNEL_INCLUDE=/usr/src/linux/include/ if 
I run export this declare -x KERNEL_INCLUDE="/usr/src/linux/include/" is 
there. But when I run make in iproute2 I still get the 
/usr/include/linux/ip.h:93:2: error: #error "Endian problem - this 
didn't happen" error.

I tried to circumvent this by moving the /usr/include/linux directory to 
/usr/include/linux.old and then making /usr/include/linux a soft link 
pointing to /usr/src/linux/include and got a different set of errors as 
follows.

The first time I tried this I forgot to run make clean after trying to 
compile it against the original /usr/include/linux/ and it actually got 
past the initial endian error and died trying to compile tc. When I ran 
make clean and tried I go the above error.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks

You shouldn't have to do this - maybe just maybe playing with symlinks 
can help build some old out of tree stuff, but you shouldn't need to do 
it here.

I don't know what distros do nowadays (use LFS myself), but the very 
existance of /usr/src/linux link to tree is depreciated.

Why do you need to build a new tc - unless you need the latest features 
your distro should already have it & I think it should work with a new 
kernel.

If you really need it, I assume you have built your own 2.6.20.3?

Where is it, what did you do? If after configuring/building it you 
cleaned with make mrproper that will be too clean to build against - 
make clean should be OK.

I would expect tc to fail - you need the git version.

Generally if I have the tar and fail a build I just delete and start 
again - not saying that will help in this case.

If your distro has git already installed great - if not you can get it 
from here

http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.5.0.5.tar.bz2

install where you want - see INSTALL

to get the iproute2 git do -

git clone 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git

(as one line) and it will get the latest iproute2 tree for you.

Re: [LARTC] Re: [LARTC} how can I compile tc

[John Baker]

The story here is that I'm am using instructions my predecessor left for 
building a packet shapeing firewall and trying to update them for a new 
box that needs some drivers in the newer kernel version. (I can go back, 
use older versions and manually insert stuff but it makes more sense to 
try the latest stuff first)

I need to build tc because it needs to be patched with 
esfq-2.6.20/esfq-iproute2.patch.

So I built the Linux 2.6.20.3 with the necessary patches and left it in 
/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3 with a /usr/src/linux symlink pointing to it. I 
didn't do anything after setting it up.

The git version unfortunatly won't compile either. I get this:

../include/linux/types.h:166: error: syntax error before ‘__kernel_daddr_t’
../include/linux/types.h:166: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or 
union
../include/linux/types.h:167: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in 
declaration of ‘f_tinode’
../include/linux/types.h:167: warning: data definition has no type or 
storage class
../include/linux/types.h:170: error: syntax error before ‘}’ token
make[1]: *** [ll_map.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/iproute2/lib'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I'm going to see if I can get iproute 2.6.19 working with this. It 
seemed to compile once but without the proper patches. If not, I'll have 
to move back to the 2.6.15 versions that are already prove.

Unless you have some other suggestion for hte above error.

thanks for you help either way.

John

I just tried with esfq patches and it still works for me. I notice 
Correy has started using netfilter - I bet that will take some 
maintaining, but it doesn't look like it's anything to do with your error.

What is your arch 64bit? I only have 32bit to test with.

My desktop is fairly old tools (LFS 5.1 IIRC - it was still 2.4 I think 
before I migrated it) - if you are really really old maybe that could 
hurt you.

Maybe you could try a quick test - no need to build the kernel, but you 
must configure. For me make menuconfig picks up my last config because I 
put it in /boot YMMV of course you may need to find/import your config 
then just exit and save. My configs have pretty much everything tc/qos 
related selected as modules.

Don't bother with esfq just see if you can build against a vanilla kernel.

just to complicate things git doesn't work for me today -

Initialized empty Git repository in 
/home/andy/Kern-test/git-test/iproute2.git/.git/
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fetch-pack from 
'git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/' failed.

But I kept a clean copy of it from the other day, so just used that, 
I've put a copy up so we know we are using the same thing.

Anyway - just as a user try somewhere -

mkdir tc-test
cd tc-test
wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.20.3.tar.bz2
wget www.andyqos.ukfsn.org/iproute2-git.tar.bz2
tar xjf linux-2.6.20.3.tar.bz2
tar xjf iproute2-git.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.20.3
make [whateveryouuse]config

load/hope it found your recent config exit/save

cd ../iproute2-git
export KERNEL_INCLUDE=/full/path/to/tc-test/linux-2.6.20.3/include/
make

If it still fails maybe we should cc Stephen again :-)

Andy.
