reiser4progs-1.0.7 compilation error.

reiser4progs-1.0.7 compilation error.

[Viji V Nair]

Hi,

I am trying to compile reiser4progs-1.0.7 on a Fedora 11 64 bit
machine and it is throwing the following error.

<snip>
checking aal/libaal.h usability... yes
checking aal/libaal.h presence... yes
checking for aal/libaal.h... yes
checking for libaal version = 1.0.5... no
</snip>

I was followed the step in the following URL except the "sed" part.
(even with sed it is showing the same error)

http://reiser4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Reiser4_Howto/GRUB

The command which I have run is "CFLAGS="-fno-stack-protector
-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" ./configure"

I have installed libaal to /usr/local/ and there is no error while
compiling this, add lib path to ldconfig also

While googling I have found some old bug releated to this.

Any help on the same is greatly appreciated.

Viji

make sure you have libaal installed

I am sorry, but it is impossible to build grub with
reiser4 support with reiser4progs-1.0.7: some
fixups in configuration files are needed. Also the
reiser4-grub patch is rather old and I guess we
need to adjust it to the reiser4 format change that
occurred 4 years ago, or so.. I still don't have a
time to look at this.

Thanks,
Edward.

I have installed libaal already, it is installed on /usr/local. You
can see that the installer is finding libaal.h

checking for aal/libaal.h... yes

I think the installer is messed up with the version. I have downloaded
the libaal from the following location

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/reiser4/libaal/

Also, I am not trying grub with reiserfs4, I just want enable
reiserfs4 support in fedora. I have patched the upstream kernel and
installed the new kernel with reiserfs4 support.  Now, I want the
utilities to manage the same file system.

Hmm.  Reiser4progs-1.0.7 are built on my
x86_64 machine with Fedora 11 just fine..

I think this is because configuration process
can not find libaal.. Would you please rebuild
with the following instructions:

Actually the correct name is "reiser4".

You pointed to Reiser4_Howto/GRUB link
and this misled me..

Edward.
P.S. Reiser4 support in Fedora sounds great.
Please, let me know if you have any troubles..

Re: reiser4progs-1.0.7 compilation error.

[Viji V Nair]

Hello

I have followed the the documentation you have provided, got the same
result, version issue, here is the exact procedure I have followed.

1. Downloaded the latest stable kernel from kernel.org and applied the
reiser4 patch.
2. Used the existing fedora config file as .config and added
"CONFIG_REISER4_FS=y" in the filesystem section of the .config file
3. Complied and installed the new kernel without any error.
4. Rebooted the system from the newly installed kernel
	# uname -a
	Linux test01 2.6.31.4 #2 SMP Tue Oct 20 02:35:04 IST 2009 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
	# cat /etc/fedora-release
	Fedora release 11 (Leonidas)

5. Downloaded the libaal from the following link

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/reiser4/libaal/libaal-1.0.5.tar.bz2

installed to /usr/local and added the lib path to ld.so.conf, the did
an ldconfig

6. Downloaded reiser4progs from the following link

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/reiser4/reiser4progs/reiser4progs-1.0.7.tar.bz2

tried to install,

CFLAGS="-fno-stack-protector -I/usr/local/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" ./configure

got the same result (simple ./configure is also giving the same result)

<snip>
checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no
checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... no
configure: WARNING: Can't detect right _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. Will be
forced to 64bit.
checking for off_t... yes
checking size of off_t... 8
checking for aal_device_open in -laal... yes
checking aal/libaal.h usability... yes
checking aal/libaal.h presence... yes
checking for aal/libaal.h... yes
checking for libaal version = 1.0.5... no
</snip>

I am running the latest updated fedora 11, x86_64. There is a fresh
installation, after that did a yum update.

Did i miss anything?

I think there could be some issue of the installer part which checks
the libaal version. Can u please have a look at it. If you want I can
provide a temporary access to the system.

Maybe config.log tells something useful why the check for libaal failed.

Looks like you don't have the static libc.a or at least ld couldn't find
it.

thanks, Felix.

Viji, I think it makes sense to consult with Fedora's libc maintainers..

As per my Fedora 11: I don't upgrade it since my new hp xw4600
can not boot kernels >= 2.6.30 because of bios bug..

Edward.

installing glibc-static on fedora has fixed the issue, I think this
has not documented anywhere. I think I can write a howto page with
exact steps and publish it.

I am benchmarking reiser4 for a large number (50 million) of small
images (1-30k), thank you all for your support.
