Hi,
I am trying to build fedora 15 kernel (2.6.39) on a fedora 15 machine (2.6.38.8.-25.fc15.i686.PAE). I am following the document : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel I made a few changes to the source code (only prink statements) and generated a patch as given in the doc by the name * linux-2.6-my-new-patch.patch*. I added the following lines to the spec file at the appropriate places: *Patch 20005: linux-2.6-my-new-patch.patch* * ApplyPatch linux-2.6-my-new-patch.patch*
But as soon as I build the kernel I get the error :
*ERROR: Patch linux-2.6-my-new-patch.patch not listed as a source patch in spec file* *error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp/t07KDk (%prep)* **
There is your error message, which states that it cannot find the patch, possibly the files are not in correct directory(or the permission issue) Did you check the location of patch and spec file? are the files in correct directories? BTW, a better place for this question would have been #fedora channel on irc.freenode.net.
*RPM build error: * * Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp/t07KDk (%prep)*
I am doing everything according to the doc. Please let me know what could have gone wrong.
Thanks Vaibhav Jain
