Linux Compilation Errors

[Gabe R]

Hello all,

I have been trying to compile my own Linux kernel for the D1 using the instructions on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/RISC-V/Allwinner, but I seem to have hit a wall.

When I tried to compile the kernel, I got a message about missing linux/arch/riscv/ nezha_fedora_defconfig , so I switched to a different branch that had that file and re-ran the compiler, but I am now receiving the following error:

  GEN     kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz
make[2]: *** [kernel/Makefile:159: kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz] Error 127
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1851: kernel] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/builder/fedora-d1/linux'
make: *** [Makefile:39: linux] Error 2

I see some advice online about using menuconfig to disable kernel headers, but as I don't have any experience compiling the Kernel, and the Fedora page does not mention doing this, I am wary to make any changes to the build process..

Has anyone else managed to follow these (or any other) instructions and build their own Linux image?

Can it be something as benign as being out of disk write space? That looks like something doing a lot of copies and then creating a compressed copy of the same.

Robert,

I just checked, its not a disk space issue.

Aha. I did a little bit more googling and found something I missed before. Seems I needed to install the cpio. Now I have a different error that I suspect is from another missing package. Once I get this all figured out I am going to put up a Dockerfile and image on Dockerhub for others to use.
