 |
|
Hi
I've got a problem trying to build a new rt-sources kernel (2.6.29.2-rt11) but don't really have a clue what to do next.
| Code: |
$ make && make modules_install
...
...
...
...
LD arch/x86/vdso/built-in.o
CC kernel/sched.o
CC kernel/fork.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
kernel/fork.c:1826: error: 'takeover_delayed_drop' defined but not used
make[1]: *** [kernel/fork.o] Error 1
make: *** [kernel] Error 2

| Something I need to change or something chosen by the ebuild? |

To me, the kernel itself seems a strange choice
It doesn't exactly inspire heaps of confidence when I look at an ebuild and see things commented out rather than removed
When code is commented out, I assume the developer isn't completely sure of the change they're making, and are afraid of removing the code completely because they don't know what doing so might break, and they don't want to forget in case it turns out they needed it.
Especially with kernel sources, ESPECIALLY with something like an ebuild, where if you know the proper syntax, there is no reason to have items commented out instead of removed:

They may very well be brilliant coders, so I don't want to judge them completely for this - but again, it doesn't inspire heaps of confidence to see things left over in such a sloppy fashion.
2.6.26 is old enough - in the time between .26 and now, they SHOULD have an idea on whether or not what they have commented out is safe to remove from the ebuild.
my two cents |

The rt-sources are pretty much essential for low-latency audio: jack, ardour, hydrogen, rosegarden et al. Maybe I should stick with 2.6.26 for the time being though. |

| Yeah thanks erik. I'd like to do it all in portage if possible but it's good to have another option. Looks like I should maybe take this to the pro-audio mailing list instead. Thanks everyone for your help. |

understood - although, I must point out that in the case of linux sources, portage does very little (kernels don't have library dependencies the same way user end software does, and since its not being built the emerge really just downloads the files and uncompresses them into /usr/src).
Anyway, good luck. I'm glad I took the time to familiarize myself with linux realtime options.

Moved from Kernel & Hardware to Unsupported Software.
Its an unsupported kernel
