Yeah, I wonder if it makes sense to package those scripts into the linux-header package. It's expected that those scripts are related with the builder's native arch, as it's used during the build. Don't know if removing these scripts could affect anything else then DKMS, but it sounds like that it'd be more correct to fix DKMS instead of cross build all the scripts and deploy that into the package.
-- Cross compiled headers package breaks DKMS compilation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/666267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of TI OMAP Developers, which is a direct subscriber. Status in “linux-ti-omap4” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When cross-compiling headers package on a PC, some x86 programs get shipped in the .deb. Those programs get called during later compilation of DKMS modules, breaking the build. Faulty binaries are: scripts/mod/mk_elfconfig scripts/mod/modpost scripts/kconfig/conf scripts/basic/hash scripts/basic/docproc scripts/basic/fixdep scripts/bin2c scripts/kallsyms scripts/pnmtologo scripts/conmakehash scripts/selinux/genheaders/genheaders scripts/selinux/mdp/mdp Starting with, for example: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/linux-ti-omap4_2.6.35.orig.tar.gz https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/linux-ti-omap4_2.6.35-903.16.diff.gz https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/linux-ti-omap4_2.6.35-903.16.dsc Extract with 'dpkg-source -x linux-ti-omap4_2.6.35-903.16.dsc'. Cross compilation is done with: fakeroot debian/rules clean export $(dpkg-architecture -aarmel) CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- skipabi=true skipmodule=true fakeroot debian/rules binary-omap4 To obtain cross compilers, add the following line to your '/etc/apt/sources.list': deb http://people.canonical.com/~hrw/ubuntu-maverick-armel-cross-compilers/ ./ Then install 'gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi'. After cross build, the resulting .deb are: linux-headers-2.6.35-903-omap4_2.6.35-903.16_armel.deb linux-image-2.6.35-903-omap4_2.6.35-903.16_armel.deb One can check the shipped x86 binaries by extracting the .deb: dpkg -x linux-headers-2.6.35-903-omap4_2.6.35-903.16_armel.deb extract ...and searching for x86 executables: find extract/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-903-omap4/scripts -type f -exec file "{}" \; |grep ELF |grep x86 |sed 's,:.*,,' Some more details on cross compiling can be found at 'http://idlethread.blogspot.com/2009/01/recipe-of-day-cross-compiling-armel.html'. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~tiomap-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~tiomap-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
