The zfs package supports the option --with-config=srpm which
is used to bootstrap configure to allow the 'make srpm' target
to work. This has the advantage of allowing creation of source
rpms without having all your -devel packages installed. This
source package can then be feed back in to an automated build
farm which only installs the required packages listed by the
srpm. This ensures that all proper dependencies are expressed
by the source package, because if they are not you will get
configure/build failures.
The trouble here is that --with-config=srpm prevents the
architecture check from running resulting in TARGET_ASM_DIR
being set to the default asm-generic. The 'make dist' rule
then fails because there is no asm-generic/atomic.S file
because it is generated at build time. To handle this I
have added an empty file asm-generic/atomic.S simply as a
place holder for 'make dist'.
One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of
is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the
source directory. The major advantage to this is that you can
build the project various different ways while making changes
in a single source tree.
For example, this project is designed to work on various different
Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently. This
means that changes need to verified on each of those supported
distributions perferably before the change is committed to the
public git repo.
Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier.
I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different
systems each running a supported distribution. When I make a
change to the source base I suspect may break things I can
concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each
in their own subdirectory.
wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd zfs-x-y-z
------------------------- run concurrently ----------------------
<ubuntu system> <fedora system> <debian system> <rhel6 system>
mkdir ubuntu mkdir fedora mkdir debian mkdir rhel6
cd ubuntu cd fedora cd debian cd rhel6
../configure ../configure ../configure ../configure
make make make make
make check make check make check make check
This change also moves many of the include headers from individual
incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single
top level include directory. This has the advantage of making
the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.
All changes needed for the libspl layer. This includes modifications
to files directly copied from OpenSolaris and the addition of new
files needed to fill in the gaps.
