Problems rebuilding the F12 kernel RPM on mock or Centos

[Pedro Fernandes Macedo]

Hey there,

I'm trying to do some (admittedly hacky) stuff involving trixbox on a
netbook. Since it requires a fairly new kernel to support the bluetooth
modules, I decided to go ahead and get the F12 kernel RPMs and recompile
them for trixbox/centos 5.

However, the build never seems to complete. I've tried under mock and using
a virtual machine to build as root (which I know is bad, but I had to
test...). Under mock, it fails in the generation of the header files, as it
tries to remove files from /usr/include/ and it doesn't have the needed
permission . On the virtual machine, the build fails later on, as it has
successfully removes the headers from /usr/include, preventing anything else
from compiling.

With mock running on a Centos 5 host, here's the output:
 (rebuilding kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.src.rpm )
+ make ARCH=i386 INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr headers_install
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  UPD     include/linux/version.h
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/docproc
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/hash
  HOSTCC  scripts/unifdef
  REMOVE  ipc.h
rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/asm-generic/ipc.h': Permission denied
make[2]: *** [/usr/include/asm-generic/.install] Error 1
make[1]: *** [asm-generic] Error 2
make: *** [headers_install] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.5339 (%install)


On a disposable Centos 5 instance as root:
+ make ARCH=x86_64 INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr headers_check
In file included from scripts/basic/fixdep.c:107:
/usr/include/sys/types.h:27:22: error: features.h: No such file or directory
In file included from /usr/include/bits/types.h:31,
                 from /usr/include/sys/types.h:31,
                 from scripts/basic/fixdep.c:107:

(and rpm -V glibc-headers shows all files are missing).

I'm trying to compile it under mock on a Fedora 12 instance , but it's not
going very well.... I'm building a disposable F12 instance to test building
there, but I'm guessing it will just fail as well...

Any ideas? It's looking like a bug; it should be using INSTALL_HDR_PATH into
a path relative to the build root, not just /usr ...
