Please forgive my ignorance. I would like to use the backports tool to backport a driver from a fork of linux-next to my (vendor's) custom 4.9 kernel. >From reading https://backports.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Documentation/integration it would appear that I should be able to do something vaguely like: $ ./gentree.py --integrate --clean --gitdebug ../linux-ath-erstrom ../buildroot/build/linux-custom But, the first time I tried that, I received the following error: You need to have installed: spatch Try installing the package: coccinelle So: $ sudo apt install coccinelle and try again, only to get this error: You need to have installed: spatch >= 1.0.6 Try installing the package: coccinelle So now I am trying to compile coccinelle from source and that is failing: cp: cannot stat '/usr/lib/ocaml/parmap/parmap.cmx': No such file or directory Makefile:620: recipe for target 'ocaml/parmap.cmi' failed It appears that the version of libparmap-ocaml-dev I installed on my Ubuntu 16.04 workstation does not include parmap.cmx. (It includes parmap.cmxa and parmap.cmxs, but not parmap.cmx). Or, perhaps I'm off on completely the wrong tangent here. So, first questions first... If I want to port a driver from the latest linux-ath-erstrom source tree to my custom 4.9 source tree, is backports and gentree.py the right way to go? Should I reasonably expect gentree to run on a 16.04 LTS Ubuntu? If so, what dependencies should I install? Or am I going about this the wrong way? I'm stuck, and would appreciate any help anybody can give me. Thanks in advance. --wpd -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe backports" in
