Closed zultron closed 9 years ago
@zultron You're right. I do see references to the non-existing bin directory. However, I never had any problem during configuration, which makes me wonder. You do use autogen.sh
, right?
In the end of the day, a pull request solving the problem would be best.
I don't use autogen.sh
because it runs ./configure
with the wrong options for my case, but I do run autoreconf -v --install
.
If this isn't an issue for others, I'm happy with closing it. Thanks!
This is certainly a problem. If it doesn't work for you, there is a chance it wouldn't work for someone else in the future too. @NTULINUX made a lot of effort cleaning the autoconf part, so he should know why the bin folder was removed.
Regarding autogen.sh
. I tried a couple of options and in the end that's the ./configure
I found that wouldn't give errors. The reason for the ./configure
is not to actually configure, but to generate the Makefiles (so that you can do make menuconfig
next). I don't know if and how I can do without the ./configure
and still get the Makefiles out for interactive configuration. I am open to suggestions.
I change my statement: This may become a problem for others soon. :)
This issue cropped up while packaging an RTAI kernel for Debian. I suggested @SebKuzminsky give the work a try, since it may have advantages over the current packaging used in the LinuxCNC project.
The packaging isn't completely done, but the basic build flow is in place. I need to mothball the project for a while, but in case Seb or maybe @ArcEye picks this up in the meantime, here's a heads-up for those fellows.
FYI, the RTAI kernel Debian packaging:
https://github.com/zultron/kernel-rt-deb2/tree/rtai
The prerequisite RTAI Debian packaging (based on Debian w/fixes to build the ShabbyX fork):
https://github.com/zultron/rtai-deb
The linux-tools
packaging needed to build kmodules against the installed linux-headers-rtai
package (based on Debian w/changes to build against Linux 3.5):
https://github.com/zultron/linux-tools-deb
And in case it's interesting, a Makefile
and pbuilderrc
to automatically build Xenomai (can be disabled) and RTAI for a few distros + arches from scratch (RTAI is WIP):
https://github.com/zultron/kernel-rt-deb-autobuild/tree/rtai
Reminder: if you came up with a fix, do let me know (pull request would be gold)
Closing the issue as I applied your patch.
Ah ha, case of the missing
base/config/autoconf/*
files solved. See commit a12d55568.For some reason, these files were wholesale deleted in this commit, but never re-added into
bin/*
as the hunk at e.g. https://github.com/ShabbyX/RTAI/commit/a12d5556850c3a60714f9714ec21f3fd803d4530#diff-11e110980b69131c984e390bffafdad6L106 leads one to expect.I've been copying these files from mainline in order to get
./configure
to complete.I read #14, but the
README.INSTALL
directions don't apply in my case. I'll leave comments there.
