[Pvfs2-users] building 2.7.1 on linux 2.6.25

[Andrew Pochinsky]

Dear All,
	I'm wondering if anyone has managed to build kmod with the latest  
kernel? I'm getting curious errors, e.g.,

test:pvfs-2.7.1 # make kmod
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `cat'
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: `echo(cat /dev/null;   echo kernel//dist/ 
pvfs2/2.6.25/pvfs-2.7.1/src/kernel/linux-2.6/pvfs2.ko;) > /dist/ 
pvfs2/2.6.25/pvfs-2.7.1/src/kernel/linux-2.6/modules.order'
make[3]: *** [/dist/pvfs2/2.6.25/pvfs-2.7.1/src/kernel/linux-2.6/ 
modules.order] Error 2
make[2]: *** [_module_/dist/pvfs2/2.6.25/pvfs-2.7.1/src/kernel/ 
linux-2.6] Error 2
make[1]: *** [default] Error 2
make: *** [just_kmod] Error 2

It seems there are conflicting definitions of Q in pvfs and linux and  
they have collided horribly in this case. I tried to define Q to be  
empty, but it unfortunately did not help, though the erorr now is in  
a different place:

test:pvfs-2.7.1 # make kmod Q=
test -e include/linux/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf ||  
(            \
         
echo;                                                           \
        echo "  ERROR: Kernel configuration is  
invalid.";               \
        echo "         include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/ 
auto.conf are missing.";      \
        echo "         Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel  
src to fix it.";  \
         
echo;                                                            
\        /bin/false)
mkdir -p /dist/pvfs2/2.6.25/pvfs-2.7.1/src/kernel/ 
linux-2.6/.tmp_versions ; rm -f /dist/pvfs2/2.6.25/pvfs-2.7.1/src/ 
kernel/linux-2.6/.tmp_versions/*
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=/dist/pvfs2/2.6.25/pvfs-2.7.1/src/ 
kernel/linux-2.6

kernel/linux-2.6/pvfs2.ko;) > /dist/pvfs2/2.6.25/pvfs-2.7.1/src/
