[Xen-users] Probs compiling open-iscsi and on xen-3.2.1 fedora-core8

["Daniel Schwager" <Daniel.Schwager@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

i try to compile open-iscsi on a system running a self-compiled xen3.2.1, but 
it failed.

I think the problem is that xen3.2.1 uses two directories for building the xen- 
and linux kernel.
The first directory contains only the vanilla linux-2.6.18.8 sources -
the other one (xen-3.2.1/build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_64) the objectfiles and 
(copied ?) c-files ...


If i try to install open-iscsi like
        wget http://www.open-iscsi.org/bits/open-iscsi-2.0-869.tar.gz           
#
        tar xfvz open-iscsi-2.0-869.tar.gz
        cd open-iscsi-2.0-869
        make KSRC=/root/xen-3.2.1/xen3.2.1/build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_64
        # or make
      # or make install
        # or make KSRC=/root/xen-3.2.1/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
          
i got something like

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/open-iscsi-2.0-869/usr'
make -C kernel
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/open-iscsi-2.0-869/kernel'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `linux_2_6_', needed by `kernel_check'.  
Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/open-iscsi-2.0-869/kernel'
make: *** [all] Error 2

If i manually correct this problem by changing kernel/Makefile, i got the next 
error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/root/open-iscsi-2.0-869/kernel'
make -C /root/xen-3.2.1/xen-3.2.1/build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_64/ M=`pwd`

The problem is, that the new xen-3.2.x directory structure does not match the 
directory-structure requirements
for open-iscsi... 

Is there a way to compile it anyway ?

Here is the HOWTO to compile xen-3.2.1 (inherited from 
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2008-01/msg00699.html). Maybe
someone who has more knowledge can try to compile open-iscsi against xen3.2.x:

   yum install hgsvn
   
   mkdir tmp
   cd tmp
   
   hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
   wget http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/3.2.1/xen-3.2.1.tar.gz
   tar xfvz xen-3.2.1.tar.gz
   

   cd xen-3.2.1
   make prep-kernels
   cp -av /boot/config-my-old-config build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_64/.config
   make -j7 dist
   make -j7 linux-2.6-xen-build
   make -j7 install
   make linux-2.6-xen-install
   depmod 2.6.18.8-xen
   mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img 2.6.18.8-xen

   # and modifiy /boot/grub/menu.lst like described in the xen-3.2.1/README

   # and now ? compile open-iscsi (-: ...
