Re: Compiling Xen from source



Hello,

thanks for your infos. it appears the compilation process is not really straightforward.
I had to patch some header files. then some of the firmwares were bugged.
So I disabled some various checks in the firmwares  Makefiles.
I ended up with a:
"no target for make all":
configure passed all tests with werror disabled, but failed some tests with werror enabled.

finally "make dist-xen" always succeeds", but "make dist-tools" seems not bug-free.

So if you have additional advice I will try further. Also if you need volunteers to test extensively maybe i can help.

David

Currently, I'm working together with Ian to get Xen 4.14 into Debian
unstable. dacdbf708 is in 4.14 already, but we also had to pick

d25cc3ec93eb ("libxl: workaround gcc 10.2 maybe-uninitialized warning")

and

fff1b7f50e75 ("libxl: fix -Werror=stringop-truncation in
libxl__prepare_sockaddr_un")

into 4.14 to fix further gcc 10 FTBFS (yay, backport candidates). Maybe
this info helps a bit if you also run into these issues after fixing the
first one.
