RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] Xen linkage failed with Dwarf Error

["Magenheimer, Dan (HP Labs Fort Collins)" <dan.magenheimer@xxxxxx>]

RHEL3.4 and gcc 3.2.3 are fine for building Xen/ia64.

Periodically, changes are made to the Xen core that are
incompatible with Xen/ia64 and it appears that one
of the recent changes is causing your compile problem.
I will see if I can push a patch today to get it fixed.

If you have bitkeeper, the Xen/ia64 on the xen-ia64
bkbits site is nearly always stable (except for a few
minutes every week or so when I am pulling through
incompatible changes from the core of Xen in order
to push through the fixes).

Try bk://xen-ia64.bkbits.net/xeno-unstable-ia64.bk.

Also, a Tiger box will require a compile option (or
possibly a patch).  The Intel team got this working
for their Tiger (actually Tiger 4) boxes and may be
able to help you once you get it compiled.  (The
symptom you will see is that there is no console
output so it will look like it is not booting at all.)

        Subject: [Xen-ia64-devel] Xen linkage failed with Dwarf Error
        
        
        I have tried to build Xen-IA64 on a Tiger system (Intel
SR870BH2), following the
        instructions of README.xenia64 file.
         
        The Xen sources are issued from xen-unstable-src.tgz archive,
downloaded
        this morning (may 26, 2005) from the Xen web site.
         
        The compilation is OK but the linkage (ld) of Xen is failed with
several messages:
          "Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number ..."
             and
          "Dwarf Error: DW_FORM_strp offset (n) greater than or equal to
.debug_str size ..."
         
        The Linux installed on my system is RHEL-AS3, update 4.
        gcc version is 3.2.3 and ld version is 2.14.90.0.4.
         
        I thinks the problem comes from the RHEL version too old for
building Xen
        from Linux 2.6.11 sources. I supposes RHEL version 4 is
necessary for
        building Xen. Anyone could confirm this ?
         
        Thanks.
