[Xen-users] Howto compiling Xen 3.3

["Torsten" <tlehmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,


How to compile xen-3.3 on a machine without network?

Up to the version 3.1 could use simply the packages                       
               xen-$VERxen-src.tgz and linux-$VERlin.tar.bz2.
Now seen to be required to install hg and connect to internet.
Both is not simply possible.
Exist a overview to different ways to compile xen-3.3?


regards torsten

Summary:

1. Jeremie [1] say: impossible to use ... XEN_LINUX_SOURCE=tarball

  It is corrcet?
  For what is the option tarball usable?

2. on [2] i found xen-3.3.0.tar.gz
  Descr:    Xen 3.3.0 official source distribution tarball
  Readme say:
    This tarball contains the released source code for Xen 3.3.

  ...no words "to be need mercurial".


3. on [2] i found linux-2.6.18-xen-3.3.0.tar.gz
  Descr:    Linux 2.6.18 with Xen 3.3.0 support source tarball
  Readme say:
    This tarball contains the released source code for Xen 3.3.
    You need to install mercurial, and clone the kernel repository ...


  It seen not avaible for xen-3.2.
  It seen to be xenifid-linux-kernel (linux-2.6.18.3-xen.hg).
  - release: Aug 21 11:36
  - seen identical "hg clone linux-2.6.18-xen.hg" without dir .hg
    but readme say: "You need to install mercurial..."


  how to compile this?
  Can it be possible that the documantation (2./3.) are swapped?


3.1  on [3] (at 3 Sep) was written:
  tar zxvf linux-2.6.18-xen-3.3.0.tar.gz -C xen-3.3.0/
  (entry was deleted on 8 Sep, ...i hate dynamic websites...)


3.2 alternate one can pack linux-2.6.18-xen.hg on another machine,
   but how to compile?
  a $ hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
  a $ tar -czf linux-2.6.18-xen.hg.tgz linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
  b $ tar -xzf linux-2.6.18-xen.hg.tgz
  b $ tar -xzf xen-3.3.0.tar.gz
  b $ cd xen-3.3.0
  b # time KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU" \
  XEN_LINUX_SOURCE=tarball  make dist

  It is correct? suggest another way?
