[ewg] OFED 3.2 build errors on ppc64 with SLES11SP2 GMC

[Pavaman S]

Hello Vladimir,

I have downloaded the OFED-3.2 build available in:
http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/OFED/ofed-3.2-daily/
I tried to Build using the ./install.pl script to install the 2) Install
OFED Software and 3) All packages (all of Basic, HPC).

:~/ofed # tar -zxvf OFED-3.2-20120323-1506.tgz
:~/ofed/OFED-3.2-20120323-1506 # ls
BUILD_ID  LICENSE  README.txt  RPMS  SOURCES  SPECS  SRPMS  docs  install.pl
uninstall.sh
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27-obj/ppc64/ppc64'

make[3]: *** No rule to make target

make[2]: *** [sub-make] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27-obj/ppc64/ppc64'
make: *** [kernel] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.72838 (%build)

As mentioned by Daniel in the earlier mailing lists, we need to do the
below steps as work arounds:

# mkdir /usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27/arch/ppc64
# cp -r /usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27/arch/powerpc/*
/usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27/arch/ppc64/
# Again we need to execute ./install.pl script and select option 2 and then
option 4 ==> Customize to build the kernel modules and libraries.

Will the above mentioned work around be adopted in the ./install.pl script
of creating the ppc64 directory for SLES11SP2 distro so that the build
issues are resolved with the future OFED-3.2 tar files.

Should we open a bug in openfabrics bugzilla to keep track of this issue of
building on PPC64 platform.

Thanks and Regards,
Pavaman.S
