Hi !
I am new to loop-aes and an advanced linux user - guess what that means.
I am using Mandrake Linux v10.0 Official with a new customly compiled kernel Ver. 2.6.8. Block Device "Loop" is deactivated in .config.
I downloaded a) util-linux-2.12a b) aes-loop-2.0g
I chose old Package Versions, because the version of the util-linux package matches the util-linux patch shipped with aes-loop-2.0g (util-linux-2.12a.diff) correctly.
Compiling (a) works fine, but doing "make" in the base dir of (b) fails.
Work Dir (pwd): loop-aes-2.12a
Command a)
make
Ouput:
---
cd /lib/modules/2.6.8/build && make SUBDIRS=/root/download/loop-AES-v2.0g modules Q='@cd /root/download/loop-AES-v2.0g && if [ "$@" = "/root/download/loop-AES-v2.0g" ]; then make modules; fi; # '
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.8'
Building modules, stage 2.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.8'
---
Command b)
make LINUX_SOURCE=/usr/linux-2.6.8
same as with
make LINUX_SOURCE=/usr/linux-2.6.8 KBUILD_OUTPUT=/lib/modules/2.6.8
Output:
---
cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.8 && make SUBDIRS=/root/download/loop-AES-v2.0g modules Q='@cd /root/download/loop-AES-v2.0g && if [ "$@" = "/root/download/loop-AES-v2.0g" ]; then make modules; fi; # '
/usr/src/linux-2.6.8/Makefile:415: .config: No such file or directory
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.8'
Building modules, stage 2.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.8'

"make tests" fails. I cannot find a compiled "loop.ko" (loop.o) in
/lib/modules/2.6.8/kernel/drivers/block
I tried "find /lib/modules/2.6.8/ -name 'loop*'", but got not positive result.
I have successfully used cryptoloop in single-key mode before. My goal is to use aes-loop in multi-key loop as comfortably and verbosly described in the README file of aes-loop.
I would be pleased if someone could give me a hint how to fix the Makefile appropriately, however I consider it to be valid and complete or instruct me what parameters to pass to make to compile aes-loop successfully.
Cheers
