[asterisk-dev] Building DAHDI RPMS from tarballs

[Wade Hampton]

I am trying to build the 2.4.1 dahdi packages as RPMS on
CentOS 5.5. However, I am getting an error about the kernel
version when I load the modules.  I can force load (--force)
and the modules appear to work.  My O/S info:

  Kernel:  2.6.18-194.26.1.el5
  O/S:      CentOS 5.5 up to date

On this same server, I have no problems loading the
prebuilt RPM packages from:
   http://packages.asterisk.org/centos/5/current/i386/RPMS/

I got the same error trying to load modules when I rebuilt the
2.4.0 RPMS so it may be a problem with my RPM environment?

  rpmbuild --rebuild
dahdi-linux-kmod-2.4.0-1.centos5.2.6.18_195.26.1.el5.src.rpm

Also, is there a simple procedure for taking the SPECs and
tarballs and building Dahdi RPMs?  I have taken the CentOS 2.4.0
RPMs and built RPMs but it is somewhat of a pain.

So far, I found that I had to:
  setup my user-build RPM environment
  edit the ~/.rpmmacros to define %_sbindir  /usr/sbin
  install some missing packages:
     yum install yum-kmod libusb-devel

I installed the three 2.4.0 SRC RPMs and extracted the
SPEC files.  I then edited them to change to 2.4.1.

Next I copied the tarballs and made a new one for the dahdi-linux-kmod
(why is this necessary?):
   tar xvzf dahdi-linux-2.4.1.tar.gz
   mv dahdi-linux-2.4.1 dahdi-linux-kmod-2.4.1
   tar cvzf dahdi-linux-kmod-2.4.1.tar.gz dahdi-linux-kmod-2.4.1
   cp dahdi-linux-2.4.1.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
   cp dahdi-linux-kmod-2.4.1.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
   cp dahdi-tools-2.4.1.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES

I then made the driver.  It has issues loading:
 rpmbuild -ba dahdi-linux-kmod.spec
 rpm -Uvh ~/rpmbuild/RMS/i386/kmod-dahdi-linux-2.4.1*rpm

I get error:  Failed dependencies:
  kernel-i386 = 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 is needed....

If I use a --force on the rpm -Uvh, it loads the module and
the module appears to work.  I suspect the module is looking
for a i686 module.

If I try to build with --target i686, it requires xen and PAE,
but I am not on a xen or PAE kernel?

Thanks,
