Why is it so hard to build?



I've had three attempts at building d-i for hppa.

1. It won't build on a woody system (the packages it wants aren't available).

2. Documentation is broken -- build/README does not document
that "make build_netboot" won't work.  You need to type
"fakeroot make build_netboot" instead.

3. It won't build on this kernel:

 mkdir -p ./tmp/netboot/tree/lib/modules/2.4.20-32-udeb/kernel;
 if [ -e ./tmp/netboot/tree/boot/System.map ]; then
    depmod -F ./tmp/netboot/tree/boot/System.map -q -a -b ./tmp/netboot/tree/ 2.4.20-32-udeb;
    mv ./tmp/netboot/tree/boot/System.map ./tmp/netboot;
 else
    depmod -q -a -b ./tmp/netboot/tree/ 2.4.20-32-udeb;
 fi;
 mkdir -p ./tmp/netboot/tree/lib/modules/2.4.20-64-udeb/kernel;
 if [ -e ./tmp/netboot/tree/boot/System.map ]; then
    depmod -F ./tmp/netboot/tree/boot/System.map -q -a -b ./tmp/netboot/tree/ 2.4.20-64-udeb;
    mv ./tmp/netboot/tree/boot/System.map ./tmp/netboot;
 else
    depmod -q -a -b ./tmp/netboot/tree/ 2.4.20-64-udeb;
 fi;
depmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

<joshk> willy: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented?
<willy> joshk: Indeed.
<bob2> known silly bug
<willy> ... is there a workaround?
<bob2> no, I've been tagged wontfix

*sigh*

"Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon 
the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince 
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
