Hi Patrick, > 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 In theory yes. I can't really recommend --integrate, it's untested. I may remove it entirely since nobody is maintaining it. > You need to have installed: spatch >= 1.0.6 > Try installing the package: coccinelle Indeed. There was actually a very recent commit (latest commit) that would make this require only an earlier version. Reverting that may be easier for you. > 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.

Yes, that sounds reasonable. I don't know what "linux-ath-erstrom" is, but if it's reasonably close to upstream now it should be OK. > Should I reasonably expect gentree to run on a 16.04 LTS Ubuntu?
