Compiling openss7 on Kubuntu Karmic: Can't find the kernel files

eantoranz · 10-16-2009, 01:44 PM

Hi!

I'm, trying to compile openss7 on a kubuntu karmic box.

When i do the configure, the process always says it can't find the kernel headers. I've tried to pass them with --with-k-source both pointing to the kernel headers and to the source as well. It simply fails to do it. It doesn't break the configure process, however when compiling I get problems because of missing header files.

I even took the task of changing the Makefile to pass CPPFLAGS but that took me to other problems.

Coming back to the basics, when running ./configure --enable-autotest, I see this (this is on streams... the configure of the whole project took too long to run so I'm working on the directory that first reports problems):

It does find the source:

Code:

checking for kernel source directory... /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31... yes
checking for kernel source directory... /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31

Then, it finds a certain .config in the headers directory:

Code:

checking for kernel config file... searching...
checking for kernel config file... /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31/configs/kernel-2.6.31-i686.config... no
checking for kernel config file... /usr/src/kernels/2.6.31-14-generic-i686/.config... no
checking for kernel config file... /usr/src/kernels/2.6.31-14-generic/.config... no
checking for kernel config file... /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.31-14-generic/.config... no
checking for kernel config file... /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic/.config... yes
checking for kernel config file... /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic/.config

Then all the headers/symbols/everything-else fail miserably:

Code:

checking for kernel header linux/namespace.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/kdev_t.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/statfs.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/namei.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/locks.h... no
checking for kernel header asm/softirq.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/slab.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/cdev.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/hardirq.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/cpumask.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/kref.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/security.h... no
checking for kernel header asm/uaccess.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/kthread.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/compat.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/ioctl32.h... no
checking for kernel header asm/ioctl32.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/syscalls.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/rwsem.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/smp_lock.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/devfs_fs_kernel.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/compile.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/utsrelease.h... no
checking for kernel header linux/fdtable.h... no
checking for kernel symbol kthread_create export... yes (/proc/kallsyms)
checking for kernel symbol kthread_should_stop export... yes (/proc/kallsyms)
checking for kernel symbol kthread_stop export... yes (/proc/kallsyms)
checking for kernel symbol kthread_bind export... yes (/proc/kallsyms)
checking for kernel symbol cd_forget export... no
checking for kernel symbol cd_forget address... 0xc01ea2b0
checking for kernel symbol tasklist_lock export... no
.
.
.
and so on

And then, of course, when I try to make it:

Code:

.
.
.

and on and on

So.... what do I have to do?

Thanks in advance.

The headers in e.g. /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31
can be used this way :

Code:

./configure CC="gcc -I/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31/include/ -I/usr/include/"

and / or

Code:

make CC="gcc -I/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31/include/ -I/usr/include/"

I'll try that back at home. In the meantime I'm on a jaunty box and the kernel detection is completely different though I only have the headers in this box. Compilation here fails nevertheless:

Again, from streams:

OK, I remember those files. Not easy to compile.
Most easy on older Linux's.
... Quote from the text :
" Modifications to build under Fedora 2.6.22.5-49 kernel.
These changes also support 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 kernel. Modifications

Documented lib32gcc1 problem on Ubuntu. "
.....

'streams-0.9.x' and most of the other files ( but not all )
can be compiled with kernel 2.6.18.x , gcc-4.1 .
I did that about a year ago. ( PCLinuxOS 2007.)
And not for use, just to find out, if possible to compile it.

May be more luck with the latest streams ?

EDIT EDIT : Seems to be no problem, as long as it is a supported
kernel. Made a test compile on Scientific SL 5.3 ( = Redhat EL 5.3
= CentOS 5.3 ), kernel 2.6.18-128.1.14.el5 → no errors, openSS7.
.....
Some of the files are available for / in Ubuntu ?
( You didn't tell, which functions, you intended to use.)

I have had the same problem like eantoranz.
I solved it by changing the operating system from ubuntu 9.04 to debian 5.0.

Then I can do successful configure, make and make install.

But after this I can execute only the netperf-Tool and not additional the iperf-Tool, which should be installed too.

I don't use any special options by configure, so that the tool normally are in /usr/bin but there isn't it.

Have anybody an idea, what's going wrong?

Regards
Frank

knudfl · 10-20-2009, 03:04 PM

@ Frank85 ... welcome to LQ.

'iperf' seems not to be made by default.
cd iperf , ./configure && make , # make install
provides /usr/bin/iperf

.....

Frank85 · 10-21-2009, 06:56 AM

Thank you knudfl.

Now netperf and iperf are installed but I have a little problem:

If I execute: netperf_sctp_stream -H SERVER_IP_ADDRESS
I get an error shown below:

Code:

/usr/bin/netperf    -i 10,2 -I 99,5 -P 1 -l 60 -t SCTP_STREAM -H SERVER_IP_ADDRESS  -- -m 64 -s 16M -S 16M   
The test you requested is unknown to this netperf.
Please verify that you have the correct test name, 
and that test family has been compiled into this netperf.

How or why is it possible that the SCTP_STREAM test fails. I tried than tcp and this works, it is only a problem with the SCTP_STREAM.

Regards
