[2.6.16rc2] compile error

[Alexander Fieroch]

Hello,

I can't compile kernel 2.6.16-rc[12] and get the following error:

# make

Kernel 2.6.15 is compiling without problems. So what have I to do?

look at /dev/null. on my system it keeps getting replaced by a regular
file. not really sure where the bug is, but 'cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV null'
will recreate the null character device and then the compilation will
proceed normally.

Thanks, that's it. /dev/null was replaced by a regular file.
Hm, /dev/MAKEDEV null and /dev/MAKEDEV std didn't rebuild the character
device null... but a reboot did.

you are probably running udev or something like that which generates
the devices automagically...

yes I do. Next time '/etc/init.d/udev restart' should recreate /dev/null?

You are hit be an outstanding issue with -rc1 + rc2.
When you build as root you will alter /dev/null and in your case it
became a regular file.

Recreate /dev/null and build as normal user for now.
You can apply patch below to fix it - will be in next -rc.

    kconfig: fix /dev/null breakage
    
    While running "make menuconfig" and "make mrproper"
    some people experienced that /dev/null suddenly changed
    permissions or suddenly became a regular file.
    The main reason was that /dev/null was used as output
    to gcc in the check-lxdialog.sh script and gcc did
    some strange things with the output file; in this
    case /dev/null when it errorred out.
    
    Following patch implements a suggestion
    from Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@serpentine.com> to
    use gcc -print-file-name=libxxx.so.
    
    Also the Makefile is adjusted to not resolve value of
    HOST_EXTRACFLAGS and HOST_LOADLIBES until they are actually used.
    This prevents us from calling gcc when running make *clean/mrproper
    
    Thanks to Eyal Lebedinsky <eyal@eyal.emu.id.au> and
    Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> for the first error reports.

Although this is fixed, can/should /dev/null be made immutable?  I
presume the whole system relies on it...

That didn't hit me Sam, and I built it as root, running it right now.

First you need to do make clean or make menuconfig to trigger theerror.
Second, not all /dev/null are affected. On my gentoo box it does not
fail.

My buildit26 script does a make oldconfig at the end of the tree build. 
Then my makeit script is run after I've run a make xconfig to dbl check 
the config, so menuconfig never gets involved 99.9% of the time.  
Anyway, its still running, and the log looks 100% normal so far.

I forgot to add that my makeit script does a make clean as the 2nd step, 
the first is a version check to make sure I edited it correctly.  My 
ancient fingers don't always type what I think...

Did you unpack this from a .bz2 download?  Such as this is why I always 
go get the .gz versions. It just built flawlessly here, 8 warnings in 
the apm stuffs we've been looking at for years.  Fixing to reboot to it 
right now. brb.

Done, booted to it.

I scraped this from the login screen:  But it won't paste, darn.
Something about bus methods used by the w83627hf driver I think.  Is 
this supposedly being migrated to the SPI bus?  If so, howto swap 
the .config stuufs to do that?

FWIW, sensors is displaying via gkrellm just fine for the moment.

Also, its nice to see 1GB of low mem registered now.  Thanks.
