Hi,
I am trying desperately to build a kernel from the opensolaris code base. I
could see that the opensolaris.sh file has incorrect options for the
NIGHTLY_OPTIONS shell variable
NIGHTLY_OPTIONS="-FNnaCDlmrt"; export NIGHTLY_OPTIONS
Look at the option 't'
In th bldenv.sh program it sets up other build related variables if this option
is set. I can see that
ONBLD_TOOLS is set to ${SRC}/tools/proto/opt/onbld tools if this is set. But we are advised to put the onbld tools under /opt in the README.
So I removed the 't' option from the NIGHTLY_OPTIONS variable. Now when I try
to do a dmake install, I stumble upon this:
/opt/onbld/bin/i386/ctfconvert -i -L VERSION debug64/cbe.o
*** Error code 1
The following command caused the error:
BUILD_TYPE=DBG64 VERSION='onnv-gate' dmake install.targ
dmake: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install.debug64'
Current working directory /export/home/romit/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/i86pc/unix
*** Error code 1
The following command caused the error:

dmake: Fatal error: Command failed for target `unix'

CAN any kind soul (may be some Solaris kernel /build engineer), point out where I can get a buildable/working version of the source tree?
Also, I would suggest that before publishing the source if some sanity test is done, then it saves a lot of time.
Thanks,

Romit,
I just pulled the source down yesterday and built from a stock Nevada
55b workspace.
I worked strictly from the Developer Notes
(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/onnv/devref_toc/)
and Dennis Clark's tutorial
(http://www.blastwave.org/articles/BLS-0056/index.html).
Note some things have changed since his tutorial was last published and
he advocates changing some options that I would wait on changing.
You don't want to remove the -t option. It is saying build the tools
which get put into
/opt/onbld. I.e., after you are done, you will build both the kernel and
those tools.
You should actually be able to leave these options alone and get a
working kernel. Hmm,
I removed some, but just because those are ones I typically remove when
building kernels
when doing Solaris buf-fixing. I.e., I've done it plenty of times and
know what I am
trading off.
My suggestion is that you build a pretty stock kernel before you start
changing anything.
You need to typically change GATE, CODEMGR_WS, and STAFFER for each
build/user. After that, for OpenSolaris, you can fudge VERSION and
RELEASE_DATE.
Get a working kernel from that and then experiment with the other options.
Thanks,
Tom
Oh, and here is the changes I put in to get a working build:
