Building XCI on a 64 bit Linux - Fails

Building XCI on a 64 bit Linux - Fails

[Tom Rotenberg]

Hi All,

It seems like trying to build the XCI tree, on a 64-bit Linux, fails.
Shouldn't it be possible to build the XCI tree on a 64-bit linux?
Can anyone please help me with this?

What i did:
git clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/git-http/xenclient/build
cd build
cp configs/xenclient_config ./.config
make

I got the following errors:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
block-qcow2.c: In function גbdrv_preadג:
block-qcow2.c:237: warning: format ג%#llxג expects type גlong long
unsigned intג, but argument 5 has type ג__off_tג

there's no reason why building on 64 bits shouldn't work, although the 
team usually build 32 bits.
which might explain why we haven't seen this issue.

it looks like you __off_t is 32 bits ... where it should have been 64 
bits...

did you use the config in configs/ ?
can you send me your build .config and the uclibc config in 
toolchain_build_*/uClibc-0.9.30/.config ?

thanks,

ok, i did the same experiments and end up with the same error.
we're currently modifying our toolchain for better caching and better 
reliability, which hope may fix thoses kind of issue once and for all.

Great.

I will surely test it when it will be out...
