To add a new module (that will rebuild the binary policy file) you can install the new *.te *.if and *.fc files in a directory and run from that directory (you will need to ensure /etc/selinux/config has SELINUXTYPE=refpolicy set): make -f /usr/share/selinux/refpolicy/include/Makefile load This Makefile basically reads the build.conf file, uses checkmodule to build the *.pp file, then semodule to add to store and build the binary policy (also using the prebuilt /usr/share/selinux/refpolicy/*.pp files). I've just tried this on Fedora 33 with no problems. Note: While running through example this I noticed an error in the Notebook - the Reference policy does not have a contibute section, I'll send patch to remove: Add the contibuted modules (policy/modules/contrib) git submodule init git submodule update > > - This can help me to debug an issue where i am trying to get selinux > of my custom > distro where all the make command are successfully executed but > the policy.31 > is not getting created > > - I can even see the "include" folder also getting created for make > install-headers > > Any pointers will be helpful or please let me know if i am missing > any > aspect here . > > Thanks , > Ashish.
