How to compile Jeremy's dom0 pvops kernel (2.6.32.x) on Fedora 15

[Robin Axelsson]

Hi,
I'm trying to compile Jeremy's paravirt_ops kernel on Fedora 15 using 
the following tutorial:

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Fedora13Xen4Tutorial

but in the compilation process I get error messages that some .c and .h 
files are missing. I couldn't locate the packages that would house these 
files for Fedora 15 so I wonder how to compile it for F15.

I want to use Jeremy's kernel because I need dom0 pciback drivers for 
using VGAPassthrough and PCIpassthrough.

Regards
Robin.

Hello,

Please paste the actual build errors..

During compilation I see a lot of warnings: They are in pretty much 
every .../.../xyz.h file, the warnings are about variables that are set 
but not used. Perhaps this is normal. Then when things start to go 
haywire it begins with a couple of LDs on drivers/video/fb.o 
.../built-in.o and vmlinux.o followed by the command MODPOST that gives 
a warning that it found 10 section mismatches. It suggested that I 
should make with 'CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y' option/argument added.

Then the final straw that breaks it all is when line 28 in 
Documentation/video4linux/v4lgrab.c refers to linux/videodev.h that 
doesn't exist which terminates the compilation.

The cause of this seems to be that (according to an ubuntu bug report) 
the V4L1 API was removed in one of the Linux 2.6.38 pre-releases since 
v4l support has been dropped since kernel 2.6.35, and the 
<linux/videodev.h> header doesn't exist. Perhaps it compiles 
mediastreamer2/src/msv4l.c if either V4L1 or V4L2 is detected, and that 
file unconditionally includes <linux/videodev.h>.

A more detailed version showing the last couple of lines follows:

Two suggestions:

- Did you try my reference .config file? 
- Do you have enough free disk space to build the kernel?

- If you by using reference config mean executing the following lines 
(which are stated in the tutorial):

# wget -O .config http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/pv_ops-dom0-debug/config-2.6.32.25-pvops-dom0-x...
# make oldconfig
# make clean
# make -j4 bzImage&&  make -j4 modules

the answer is yes.

- Yes I have enough disk space for the kernel and I think it is quite evident from the error messages I supplied in my prior post that this is not the problem.

Ok.

I asked because one of the errors looked like running out of disk space..

That is a fairly standard error. It doesn't seem to cause problems.

Video4Linux version one that has been dropped in favor of version 2. I 
tried to disable everything that has V4L in it but that didn't solve the 
problem.
