Re: [Xen-users] Frist try of Xen-3.2 on Slackware 12
Xdub,
I can get you past your compile errors, I believe, even to the point of
installing the kernel, but I have not as yet been able to get the kernel
to actually boot on Slackware 12. Here is what I've done to get to the
point of booting, and if you can get past this to a working boot, then
I'd love to hear how you got it accomplished:
1.) Install Slackware 12 with X and all development packages, ext3 filesystem.
2.) Install swaret for slackware updates, modify the config and run:
a.) swaret --update
b.) swaret --upgrade
3.) Install grub: swaret --install grub
4.) Run grubconfig
5.) Reboot and verify grub install
6.) Download and untar xen-3.2.0.tar.gz
7.) Run hg clone -r 406 http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
8.) cd xen-3.2.0
9.) Run make world and then make install
10.) vi /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the kernel as a boot option
Let me know if you get a compiled kernel after that. Then, if you boot
successfully, let me know how you did it! :-)

You don't. Due to a really, really, badly designed build process,

and a few other tools you might not expect are required, and required at
recent versions. Even if you have the repositories on your filesystem and
it doesn't need to actually download anything, it will barf if mercucial
isn't present.

Hi Xen'ist
New on virtualization and as usual some issues when I try to install
Xen, from source packages, especially version 3.2
All prerequisites are done,
So, I unpacked both source packages : xen-3.2.0.tar.gz &
linux-2.6.18-xen-3.2.0.tar.gz inside "/usr/src" directory.
Move to "/usr/src"
root@xen-master:/usr/src# ll
total 64
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2008-03-09 12:46 linux ->
./linux-2.6.18-xen-3.2.0/
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 2008-03-09 13:19 linux-2.6.18-xen-3.2.0/
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 2008-03-09 13:47 xen-3.1.3/
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 2008-03-09 13:36 xen-3.2.0/
Change to directory "xen-3.2.0" and execute "make world" and got the
following error message:

It seems that Mercurial tools must be installed and are also
prerequisites (?)
Whereas from version 3.1.3, things seem to be good. At the time of
writing Linux Kernel Linux-2.6.18.8 is building itself.
Q. How to build Xen-3.2 without Mercurial tools ?
Many Thanks for your help.
