Doing make xen and make tools should be just fine (I do this regularly, as I don't want or need Linux to be constantly rebuilt and reinstalled when I'm only changing things to Xen and/or tools).

I don't know for sure, but I have the theory that "make world" will build things that "make xen" and "make tools" don't, which will then persist in being installed when later tools builds miss some things.

Hmm... I don't know if I've ever used "make world", actually. If I want to build everything, I just do "make" (it seems the difference is that world will do a clean and kdelete first).

The only difference I can see between using world vs xen and tools is that world also builds the stubdom (which can be done separately with "make stubdom").

So perhaps the thing to do if you want stubdom support too is to do:

sudo make install-xen
sudo make install-tools
sudo make install-stubdom


Did you install them after building (make install-xen and make install-tools)? I think you need to be sudo for it to install properly.

I think I tried those just a couple times, but killed them when they started to build the Linux kernel again.

I don't think they should do that... but maybe they need to build the linux kernel once. I'm not sure, since I did build and install the linux kernel (but only once, ever after I just need to do xen and tools).


I have a "make world" going right now, and will do a "make install" when that's done. I decided to just let it build Linux, just so I can be certain everything else builds.

Yes, this certainly seems like the safe thing to do.
