Hi Balbir and all,
Sorry for the trouble and the missing changelog. I'm still learning;)
Can you please elaborate a bit more what exactly is broken? Are you cross- or native compiling?
Here is what I tried to fix:
In my cross build environment (ELDK4.2) the following is defined:
export | grep DEPMOD declare -x DEPMOD="/opt/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/usr/bin/depmod.pl"
without my patch it breaks like this:
make V=1 ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$ELDK_PREFIX/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/ppc_4xx modules_install Warning: you may need to install module-init-tools See http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt make -f /opt/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/usr/src/linux-v2.6.29.1/scripts/Makefile.modinst mkdir -p /opt/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/ppc_4xx/lib/modules/2.6.30-rc5-01317-g982dd86/kernel/drivers/scsi; cp drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko /opt/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/ppc_4xx/lib/modules/2.6.30-rc5-01317-g982dd86/kernel/drivers/scsi ; true /opt/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/ppc_4xx/lib/modules/2.6.30-rc5-01317-g982dd86/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko make -f /opt/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/usr/src/linux-v2.6.29.1/scripts/Makefile.fwinst obj=firmware __fw_modinst if [ -r System.map -a -x /opt/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/usr/bin/depmod.pl ]; then /opt/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/usr/bin/depmod.pl -ae -F System.map -b /opt/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/ppc_4xx 2.6.30-rc5-01317-g982dd86; fi make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 1
with my patch it is more happy:
make V=1 ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$ELDK_PREFIX/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/ppc_4xx modules_install Warning: you may need to install module-init-tools See http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt make -f /opt/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/usr/src/linux-v2.6.29.1/scripts/Makefile.modinst mkdir -p /opt/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/ppc_4xx/lib/modules/2.6.30-rc5-01317-g982dd86/kernel/drivers/scsi; cp drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko /opt/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/ppc_4xx/lib/modules/2.6.30-rc5-01317-g982dd86/kernel/drivers/scsi ; true /opt/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/ppc_4xx/lib/modules/2.6.30-rc5-01317-g982dd86/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko make -f /opt/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/usr/src/linux-v2.6.29.1/scripts/Makefile.fwinst obj=firmware __fw_modinst
I could most likely just undefine DEPMOD in the environment.
(here DEPMOD is not defined):
make v=1 ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$ELDK_PREFIX/eldk-4.2-ppc_4xx/ppc_4xx modules_install INSTALL drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko DEPMOD 2.6.30-rc5-01317-g982dd86
This seems to be working fine as well.
I did not try the native compilation. Maybe the problem is there?
Regards,
Robert
