Compiling realtime kernel from RHEL 6 MRG sources on CentOS 6
- by Sashka B
I'm trying to compile kernel-rt-2.6.33.9-rt31.75.el6rt.src.rpm from RHEL6 MRG source RPMs on Centos 6 x86_64 system.
It's first time I'm doing this, so I did research on how to do this properly. From what I found, I did:
rpm -ihv kernel-rt-2.6.33.9-rt31.75.el6rt.src.rpm
cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
nano kernel-rt.spec
rpmbuild -bb kernel-rt.spec 2> build-err.log | tee build-out.log
in kernel-rt.spec I've disbleed compilation of variants I don' need - ie compile only rt and firmware. Also defined not to build debuginfo.
After compilation finished, I've got in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ two files:
kernel-rt-2.6.33.9-rt31.75.el6rt.x86_64.rpm
kernel-rt-devel-2.6.33.9-rt31.75.el6rt.x86_64.rpm
but when I tried to install kernel, I got error message:
$ sudo rpm -ihv kernel-rt-2.6.33.9-rt31.75.el6rt.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
kernel-rt-firmware = 2.6.33.9-rt31.75.el6rt is needed by kernel-rt-2.6.33.9-rt31.75.el6rt.x86_64
There was no folder ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch - where I would expect it to show up.
Also, I've tried rpmbuild --rebuild kernel-rt-2.6.33.9-rt31.75.el6rt.src.rpm, but got same results...
What am I doing wrong?
I've seen this question, but it suggests what I tried already and I want to build kernel myself, not use pre-built from SLC.
