[LU-4750] lustre 2.5.1-rc fails to compile from source ( redhat sources )

Sat, 22 Mar 2014 13:06:33 +0000

I believe compilation from source is being effected by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=613568

With a clean set of source linux-2.6.32-431.5.1.el6 with or without lustre patches applied but using the config file from 2.5.1-rc1

cp /local/lustre-2.5.1-RC/lustre-2.5.56/lustre/kernel_patches/kernel_configs/kernel-2.6.32-2.6-rhel6-x86_64.config ./.config

CC crypto/signature/ksign-publickey.o
crypto/signature/ksign-publickey.c:2:17: error: key.h: No such file or directory
crypto/signature/ksign-publickey.c: In function ‘ksign_init’:

crypto/signature/ksign-publickey.c:10: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
crypto/signature/ksign-publickey.c:10: error: for each function it appears in.)

From http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=1324

"run make menuconfig.
1) Select "Enable loadable module support", then "Module signature verification (EXPERIMENTAL)". Disable it.
2) Then go back to the main menu, select "Cryptographic API" then "In-kernel signature checker (EXPERIMENTAL)" and disable that one too.
Then go back again, save your config and make your kernel. At least, it will pass this phase successfully."

Which gives this diff:

diff .config .config.orig
