Hi, I'm trying to build a kernel with O= with the kernel source residing on a readonly NFS share. The main build finishes just fine, vmlinux & the modules are all built, but "make deb-pkg" and "make rpm-pkg" fail to build: -------------------------- $ make V=1 O=/mnt/sdb/s0/ deb-pkg [...] set -e; : ' CHK include/linux/version.h'; mkdir -p include/linux/; (echo \#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132646; echo '#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))';) < /usr/local/src/linux-2.6-git/Makefile > include/linux/version.h.tmp; if [ -r include/linux/version.h ] && cmp -s include/linux/version.h include/linux/version.h.tmp; then rm -f include/linux/version.h.tmp; else : ' UPD include/linux/version.h'; mv -f include/linux/version.h.tmp include/linux/version.h; fi /bin/sh: cannot create include/linux/version.h.tmp: Read-only file system make[4]: *** [include/linux/version.h] Error 2 -------------------------- $ make V=1 O=/mnt/sdb/s0/ rpm-pkg [...] make -f /usr/local/src/linux-2.6-git/scripts/Makefile.clean obj=arch/x86/boot/compressed rm -rf .tmp_versions rm -f vmlinux System.map .tmp_kallsyms* .tmp_version .tmp_vmlinux* .tmp_System.map set -e; cd ..; ln -sf /usr/local/src/linux-2.6-git kernel-2.6.38rc7 ln: creating symbolic link `kernel-2.6.38rc7': Permission denied make[2]: *** [rpm-pkg] Error 1 -------------------------- The full buidlogs are here: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/2.6.38-rc7/make/ Note that e.g. "make binrpm-pkg" succeeds and puts the .rpm in $HOME, I wonder if at least deb-pkg could be fixed..?
