Busybox issue

visar opened this issue 7 years ago · 3 comments

While running make all (specifically, make busybox) I ran into this issue:

console-tools/kbd_mode.c:33:22: fatal error: linux/kd.h: No such file or directory
 #include <linux/kd.h>
                      ^
compilation terminated.
scripts/Makefile.build:197: recipe for target 'console-tools/kbd_mode.o' failed
make[2]: *** [console-tools/kbd_mode.o] Error 1
Makefile:742: recipe for target 'console-tools' failed
make[1]: *** [console-tools] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/vnz/work/build-linux/busybox-1.26.2'
Makefile:26: recipe for target 'busybox' failed
make: *** [busybox] Error 2
[1]    27046 exit 2     make busybox

Any idea on how should this be resolved?

This happens because it's not using the sanitized kernel headers to build busybox. That might be because those headers are in a git submodule and you haven't cloned them too. Try to do ``git submodule update --init`` and see if that fixes it.

Yes, that fixes it. This happens only on Ubuntu and Debian, on Arch systems one does not need to download the gitmodules. Thanks.

PS maybe you should put that on the README.

Yeah, Arch supplies those kernel headers via a package. The README mentions where you can get those headers. I should find a place to mention that about the submodule somewhere.
