一点Linux心得: 编译 modutils-2.4.27-1.src.rpm

       我目前在看宋宝华老师的《Linux设备驱动开发详解》；书中提到Linux内核编译部分，需要升级modutils 和module-init-tools.module-init-tools还好一下就编译过。而modutils就是老是出错，后来上网查了一下，发现原来是由于我电脑上安装的Linux kernel 为2.6.xx,所安装的modutils-2.4.27-1.src.rpm 是针对kernel 2.4环境的，kernel 2.4 到 kernel 2.6,某些设置已经发生改变了。我上网查了一下，还没有人发过这方面的帖子，在此，总结一下，我的安装过程。

 

首先，从www.kernel.org 网站上下载modutils-2.4.27-1.src.rpm

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/modutils/v2.4/

然后执行，

#rpm -e --nodeps modutils （强行卸载原有的modutilsRPM包）
#rpm -ivh modutils-2.4.21-23.src.rpm （把源代码包安装到了/usr/src/redflag/目录下［我电脑系统是红旗Linux］）

   1:modutils               warning: user kaos does not exist - using root
warning: group ocs does not exist - using root
########################################### [100%]
warning: user kaos does not exist - using root
warning: group ocs does not exist - using root
#cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS （进入规范文件目录下）

到这里为止，一切都顺利！
#rpmbuild --bb modutils.spec （生成二进制的RPM包）

执行完这命令后，问题就开始了... ...

报错：

error: Legacy syntax is unsupported: copyright
error: line 5: Unknown tag: Copyright: GPL

上网查了一下资料，把modutils.spec里边的第5行

            Copyright: GPL    改成 License:GPL

OK , RPM文件开始编译了，可没有多久就报错了

In file included from obj_kallsyms.c:26:
./../include/util.h:42: warning: built-in function ‘log’ declared as non-function
obj_kallsyms.c: In function ‘obj32_kallsyms’:
obj_kallsyms.c:204: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment
obj_kallsyms.c:279: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment
make[1]: *** [obj_kallsyms.o] 错误 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redflag/BUILD/modutils-2.4.27/obj'
make: *** [all] 错误 2

将obj_kallsyms.c文件修改如下

将204行的

  a_hdr = (struct kallsyms_header *) osec->contents =
     xmalloc(osec->header.sh_size);

改成
  osec->contents = xmalloc(osec->header.sh_size);
  a_hdr = (struct kallsyms_header *) osec->contents;

将279行的

  a_hdr = (struct kallsyms_header *) osec->contents =
    xrealloc(a_hdr, a_hdr->total_size);

改成
  osec->contents = xrealloc(a_hdr, a_hdr->total_size);
  a_hdr = (struct kallsyms_header *) osec->contents;

然后将改动压缩回../SOURCES/modutils-2.4.27.tar.gz,在压缩包里

边直接改动，是不允许保存的，所以要先解压缩，改动后，压缩回去进行覆盖，

以下都是如此做法，不再重复。然后继续。

报错：

In file included from insmod.c:79:
./../include/util.h:42: warning: built-in function ‘log’ declared as non-function
insmod.c: In function ‘add_symbols_from’:
insmod.c:278: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment
make[1]: *** [insmod.o] 错误 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redflag/BUILD/modutils-2.4.27/insmod'
make: *** [all] 错误 2
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.36012 (%build)
将insmod.c文件的第278行

        ((char *)s->name) += 8;

改成

     s->name = (void *)((long)(s->name)+8);

再继续编译，

 

继续报错：

In file included from genksyms.c:32:
./../include/util.h:42: warning: built-in function ‘log’ declared as non-function
genksyms.c:48: error: static declaration of ‘errors’ follows non-static declaration

make[1]: *** [genksyms.o] 错误 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redflag/BUILD/modutils-2.4.27/genksyms'
make: *** [all] 错误 2
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.97956 (%build)
将genksyms.c第48行的语句

               static int errors;

移到文件的开头，紧跟注释后的第一行去。

继续报错：

In file included from depmod.c:44:
./../include/util.h:42: warning: built-in function ‘log’ declared as non-function
depmod.c: In function ‘addksyms’:
depmod.c:1136: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redflag/BUILD/modutils-2.4.27/depmod'
make: *** [all] 错误 2
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.36319 (%build)
将depmod.c的第1136行

               ((char *)ksym->name) += 8;

改成
                ksym->name = (void *)((long)(ksym->name)+8);

继续... ...

OK,终于编过去了，好累！！！

#cd ../RPMS/i386 （转入刚生成的二进制的RPM包所在位置）

#rpm -ivh modutils*.rpm

安装之前生成的RPM，从上边提示来看，我电脑上已有的设置跟RPM包有一些冲突，可能是因为电脑本身的内核版本就很高，跟modultils-2.4有不一致的地方。不知道对后面编译内核有没有影响，这个放到后面再说吧。本来想找 modultils-2.6，哪知连www,kernel.org网站都找不着，之好用 所看到最新的modultils-2.4.27了
