Hello. I'm working on porting an old zaptel kernel module which I've used under NetbSD-3 and NetBSd-5 for years to a version 9-current from January 2021. I have the module built, using the bsd.module.mk make file from /usr/share, but when I try to perform a modload on the final .kmod file, I get the following output:
DEBUG: module: Loading module from /stand/amd64/9.99.77/modules/zaptel/zaptel.kmod DEBUG: module: Loading plist from /stand/amd64/9.99.77/modules/zaptel/zaptel.plist DEBUG: module: plist load returned error 2 for `/stand/amd64/9.99.77/modules/zaptel/zaptel.kmod' WARNING: module error: `link_set_modules' section wrong size (got 16, wanted 8) WARNING: module error: cannot fetch info for `zaptel', error 8 this looks like some kind of error in the linking phase of the process, but I'm not sure how to go about debugging it. Maybe someone can give me a clue on what to try next? Is there a flag I need to specify the correct section size? In looking at the make.log, below, the VERSION environment variable is non-existent in the build environment I'm using. Could this be the issue? If it is, what should that environment variable contain? -thanks -Brian # compile zaptel/zaptel.o gcc -O2 -g -std=gnu99 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wno-sign-compare -Wsystem-headers -Wno-traditional -Wa,--fatal-warnings -Wreturn-type -Wswitch -Wshadow -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-sign-compare -Werror -ffreestanding -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-pointer-sign -mno-red-zone -mno-mmx -mno-sse -mno-avx -msoft-float -mcmodel=kernel -fno-omit-frame-pointer -I/usr/src/common/include -DDIAGNOSTIC -I/usr/home/buhrow/src/asterisk/zaptel -I/usr/local/netbsd/src-9977/sys -I/usr/src/common/include -DDIAGNOSTIC -nostdinc -I. -I/home/buhrow/src/asterisk/zaptel-netbsd-20230118/zaptel -isystem /usr/home/buhrow/src/asterisk -isystem /usr/home/buhrow/src/asterisk/arch -isystem /usr/home/buhrow/src/asterisk/../common/include -D_KERNEL -D_MODULE -DSYSCTL_INCLUDE_DESCR -c -Wno-error=implicit-fallthrough zaptel.c -o zaptel.o.o ctfconvert -L VERSION -o zaptel.o zaptel.o.o && rm -f zaptel.o.o # compile zaptel/ztdummy.o gcc -O2 -g -std=gnu99 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wno-sign-compare -Wsystem-headers -Wno-traditional -Wa,--fatal-warnings -Wreturn-type -Wswitch -Wshadow -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-sign-compare -Werror -ffreestanding -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-pointer-sign -mno-red-zone -mno-mmx -mno-sse -mno-avx -msoft-float -mcmodel=kernel -fno-omit-frame-pointer -I/usr/src/common/include -DDIAGNOSTIC -I/usr/home/buhrow/src/asterisk/zaptel -I/usr/local/netbsd/src-9977/sys -I/usr/src/common/include -DDIAGNOSTIC -nostdinc -I. -I/home/buhrow/src/asterisk/zaptel-netbsd-20230118/zaptel -isystem /usr/home/buhrow/src/asterisk -isystem /usr/home/buhrow/src/asterisk/arch -isystem /usr/home/buhrow/src/asterisk/../common/include -D_KERNEL -D_MODULE -DSYSCTL_INCLUDE_DESCR -c ztdummy.c -o ztdummy.o.o ctfconvert -L VERSION -o ztdummy.o ztdummy.o.o && rm -f ztdummy.o.o # link zaptel/zaptel.kmod gcc -Wl,--warn-shared-textrel -Wl,-z,relro -nostdlib -r -Wl,-T,/usr/libdata/ldscripts/kmodule,-d -Wl,-Map=zaptel.kmod.map -o zaptel.kmod zaptel.o ztdummy.o ctfmerge -t -L VERSION -o zaptel.kmod zaptel.o ztdummy.o
