I want you to see the following console log: [root@masu ~]# cd /usr/share/selinux/devel [root@masu devel]# make -f ./Makefile NAME=targeted Compiling targeted example module /usr/bin/checkmodule: loading policy configuration from tmp/example.tmp /usr/bin/checkmodule: policy configuration loaded /usr/bin/checkmodule: writing binary representation (version 6) to tmp/example.mod Creating targeted example.pp policy package rm tmp/example.mod tmp/example.mod.fc [root@masu devel]# /usr/sbin/semodule -i example.pp libsepol.link_modules: Tried to link in a non-MLS module with an MLS base. libsemanage.semanage_link_sandbox: Link packages failed /usr/sbin/semodule: Failed! [root@masu devel]# When we try to build a policy package without specific TYPE parameter, $(NAME)${MCSFLAG} is set as a default value in the /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile . $(NAME) is typically one of "targeted", "strict" or "mls", and $(MCSFLAG) is "-mls" or "-mcs". Therefore, "targeted-mcs" will be used when we omit TYPE parameter for example. In the next stage, /usr/share/selinux/devel/include/Makefile checks TYPE parameter whether MLS/MCS should be enabled, or not. But the above default value is not suitable for the following conditional statement. ------------------------------------- # enable MLS if requested. ifeq "$(TYPE)" "mls" M4PARAM += -D enable_mls CHECKPOLICY += -M CHECKMODULE += -M endif # enable MLS if MCS requested. ifeq "$(TYPE)" "mcs" M4PARAM += -D enable_mcs CHECKPOLICY += -M CHECKMODULE += -M endif ------------------------------------- The origin of the problem is that unexpected TYPE will be generated when we omit it. The following patch will fixes the problem. --- Makefile.devel.orig 2007-08-09 16:25:45.000000000 +0900 +++ Makefile.devel 2007-08-09 16:26:08.000000000 +0900 @@ -10,15 +10,15 @@ endif ifeq ($(MLSENABLED),1) - MCSFLAG=-mcs + MCSFLAG=mcs endif ifeq ($(NAME), mls) NAME = strict - MCSFLAG = -mls + MCSFLAG=mls endif -TYPE ?= $(NAME)${MCSFLAG} +TYPE ?= $(MCSFLAG) HEADERDIR := $(SHAREDIR)/devel/include include $(HEADERDIR)/Makefile -- KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@xxxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
