- ZFS_AC_KERNEL updated to exclude -obj entries in /usr/src/ when
attempting to automatically detect your kernel source.
- ZFS_AC_KERNEL check for *-obj directory when attempting to
detect the objects for your kernel source.
- ZFS_AC_SPL updated to additionally check for Modules.symvers build
product. This seems to be specific to SLES system, for Vanilla,
Fedora, RHEL, and Chaos kernels the symbol file is just called
Module.symvers.
- ZFS_CHECK_SYMBOL_EXPORT also should also check the exported SPL
symbols in addition to the exported core kernel systems.
This is used when you need to configure the project but you don't
actually intend to build it. Thus you don't really need access to
either the kernel or spl headers and symbols. At Livermore I use
this when I only intend to use the 'make dist' or 'make srpm' target.
An update to the build system to properly support all commonly
used Makefile targets these include:
make all # Build everything
make install # Install everything
make clean # Clean up build products
make distclean # Clean up everything
make dist # Create package tarball
make srpm # Create package source RPM
make rpm # Create package binary RPMs
make tags # Create ctags and etags for everything
Extra care was taken to ensure that the source RPMs are fully
rebuildable against Fedora/RHEL/Chaos kernels. To build binary
RPMs from the source RPM for your system simply run:
rpmbuild --rebuild zfs-x.y.z-1.src.rpm
This will produce two binary RPMs with correct 'requires'
dependencies for your kernel. One will contain all zfs modules
and support utilities, the other is a devel package for compiling
additional kernel modules which are dependant on the zfs.
zfs-x.y.z-1_<kernel version>.x86_64.rpm
zfs-devel-x.y.2-1_<kernel version>.x86_64.rpm
of the kernel specific build info in to config/kernel,
likewise and user specific build flags should go in
config/user. This seems like a reasonable way to go.
