Hi! My apologies if this is the wrong place for this, but I can't find an Upstart users mailing list, only the -devel.
I'm trying to install a recent Upstart into a Debian Squeeze box (using a VM for testing at the moment). The build is failing, and I'm not sure what I've done wrong. It's a mostly default Debian 6.0.6 except that the kernel has been built fresh from source, the latest version thereof (3.7.2). Based on the recommendation in: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/upstart-devel/2012-December/002106.html I took from source control, autoreconf'd, and tried to build; no difference. The configure script completes with no visible complaints, but then make says: rosuav@sikordebbie:~/upstart-1.6.1$ make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/rosuav/upstart-1.6.1' Making all in intl make[2]: Entering directory `/home/rosuav/upstart-1.6.1/intl' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/rosuav/upstart-1.6.1/intl' Making all in dbus make[2]: Entering directory `/home/rosuav/upstart-1.6.1/dbus' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/rosuav/upstart-1.6.1/dbus' Making all in init make[2]: Entering directory `/home/rosuav/upstart-1.6.1/init' GEN com.ubuntu.Upstart.c nih-dbus-tool:../dbus/com.ubuntu.Upstart.xml:65:49: Invalid D-Bus type in <arg> type attribute: Unknown typecode make[2]: *** [com.ubuntu.Upstart.c] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/rosuav/upstart-1.6.1/init' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rosuav/upstart-1.6.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 Presumably there's a build step that I've missed. I'm using json-c-0.10 built from source (and installed), and all configure options at their defaults. I'm somewhat stuck here; is Upstart 1.6.1 incompatible with kernel 3.7.2? Have I mucked up kernel parameters? Messed up the build incantation?
