[ofa-general] Error building OFED 1.2 sources

[Rajouri Jammu]

Hi,

I would like to make some changes to the OFED-1.2 kernel source. In
order to make sure I'm doing the right thing I tried compiling the
original sources (without any changes)
the make is  bailing out with an error (see below for the steps).

I'm building on stock Centos5 kernel.

Note that build.sh script worked but I would like to make changes to
the sources and make sure it compiles before following the
ofed_path.sh procedure.

Any help would be great.


This is what I did:

tar -zxvf OFED-1.2.tgz
rpm -ivh OFED-1.2/SRPM/ofa_kernel-1.2-0.src.rpm

This created the source tar ball in
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/

tar -zxvf /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ofa_kernel-1.2.tgz
cd  /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ofa_kernel-1.2

./configure
make

The make immediatly bails out with the following error:

           modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5-i686'
test -e include/linux/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || (
         \
        echo;                                                           \
        echo "  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.";               \
        echo "         include/linux/autoconf.h or
include/config/auto.conf are missing.";      \
        echo "         Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel
src to fix it.";  \
        echo;                                                           \
        /bin/false)
mkdir -p /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ofa_kernel-1.2/.tmp_versions


Here is the full output of make
