[PATCH] kbuild: Fail the build early when no lz4 present

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

When building randconfigs, the build fails at kernel compression stage
due to missing lz4 on the system but CONFIG_KERNEL_LZ4 has been selected
by randconfig. The result looks somethins like this:

    (cat arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.relocs | lz4c -l -c1 stdin stdout && printf \334\141\301\001) > arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lz4 || (rm -f arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lz4 ; false)
  /bin/sh: 1: lz4c: not found
  make[2]: *** [arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile:143: arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lz4] Error 1
  make[1]: *** [arch/x86/boot/Makefile:112: arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 2
  make: *** [arch/x86/Makefile:290: bzImage] Error 2

Fail the build much earlier by checking for lz4c presence before doing
anything else.
