D Linux Notes
- For Linux systems you need also provide the path in which your
- kernel headers for your configured kernel can be found. This should
- be the path of the directory containing a child directory named
- "include". So if your version file was
- /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h you would invoke:
+ With current Linux versions, the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source symlink
+ will be used to locate the kernel headers, but you will need to have
+ the headers and build system for your kernel installed in order to
+ build the kernel module. These are usually found in a separate package
+ from the kernel, often called something like linux-headers-<version>.
+
+ For older Linux systems, you may also need to provide the path in which
+ your kernel headers for your configured kernel can be found. This
+ should be the path of the directory containing a child directory named
+ "include". So if your version file were
+ /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h you would run:
+
% ./configure --with-afs-sysname=i386_linux24 \
--with-linux-kernel-headers=/usr/src/linux
- Currently you can build for only one Linux kernel at a time,
- and the version is extracted from the kernel headers in the root
- you specify.

To build aklog (in order to be able to get tokens from your Kerberos v5
ticket), you will need Kerberos libraries. On AIX 6.1, the IBM
AFS has a ton of other optional features that must be enabled using
configure options. Here is a summary:
+ --enable-bigendian
+ --enable-littleendian
+ These configure options are normally not required and should not be
+ given. They're only needed if the OpenAFS build system cannot
+ determine the endianness of your system, in which case configure
+ will abort and say to use one of these options.
+
--enable-bitmap-later
Speeds the startup of the fileserver by deferring reading volume
bitmaps until necessary. Demand attach is a better solution to the
same problem.
- --enable-bos-new-config
- A bosserver built with this option will look for BosConfig.new when
- it restarts and, if present, replace BosConfig with that file
- before reading its configuration.
-
- --enable-bos-restricted-mode
- Enables support for restricted mode in the bosserver. This mode
- can be enabled or disabled via a command-line switch and a signal
- and can be enabled (but not disabled) remotely. When enabled,
- bosserver will not permit any operations that change the local file
- system (install, uninstall, prune), run commands on the server
- (exec, create, delete), or view files (getlog).
-
- --enable-demand-attach-fs
- Enable Demand Attach file servers. Demand Attach is an extensive
- re-engineering of the file server that avoids the long startup and
- shutdown delays of the traditional file server by enabling
- persistance of file server state to disk. It is still very new,
- but is expected to become the default in a future version of
- OpenAFS.
-
- --enable-disconnected
- Enable disconnected support in the cache manager (EXPERIMENTAL).
-
- --enable-fast-restart
- When restarting the fileserver, don't salvage volumes. Instead,
- assume all volumes are okay and only take them off-line if that
- assumption is incorrect. Using this option safely requires
- scanning the fileserver log for error messages when volumes are
- taken off-line and salvaging them manually. Not recommended; use
- demand attach instead.
-
- --enable-icmp-pmtu-discovery
- Enable path MTU discovery in the Rx libraries by decoding ICMP
- unreachable packets.
+ --enable-checking
+ Enable compiler warnings when building with GCC and turn compiler
+ warnings into errors so that new warnings will cause compilation
+ failures. If you are developing patches to contribute to OpenAFS,
+ please build OpenAFS with this flag enabled. Warning-free code is
+ a requirement for all new submissions to OpenAFS.
+
+ --enable-debug
+ --enable-debug-kernel
+ --enable-debug-lwp
+ --enable-debug-pam
+ Compile the userspace code (for --enable-debug) or the code named
+ by the option with debugging information. If --enable-debug is
+ given, also do not strip binaries when installing them.
+
+ --enable-linux-syscall-probing
+ OpenAFS now uses keyrings to manage PAGs by default on Linux, which
+ does not require hooking into the system call table. On older
+ versions of Linux without keyring support, OpenAFS uses groups to
+ manage PAGs and probes for the system call table to hook into it to
+ preserve that group information. Normally, which method to use is
+ detected automatically, and if keyring support is present, support
+ for system call table probing is not compiled in. Use this
+ configure option to force inclusion of the system call table
+ probing code even if the kernel appears to support keyrings.
--enable-namei-fileserver
- Forces the namei fileserver on platforms (like Solaris) where the
- inode fileserver is the default.
+ Forces the namei fileserver on platforms (like Solaris 8 and 9)
+ where the inode fileserver is the default.
--enable-pthreaded-ubik
Enable the threaded version of Ubik and install the threaded
versions of Ubik servers. See README.PTHREADED_UBIK for more
information. (EXPERIMENTAL)
+ --enable-redhat-buildsys
+ Enable compilation of the kernel module for the Red Hat build
+ system kernel. Use this configure flag when building kernel
+ modules for Red Hat Linux systems.
+
--enable-reduced-depends
Try to minimize the shared library dependencies encoded in the
binaries. This omits from the link line all the libraries included
Enables support of nested groups in the ptserver. WARNING: Once
you make use of this option by nesting one group inside another,
the resulting PTS database cannot be correctly and safely used by a
- ptserver built without this option.
+ ptserver built without this option. If some of your ptservers were
+ built with this option and some without this option, you will
+ probably corrupt your PTS database.
--enable-tivoli-tsm
Build with the Tivoli TSM API libraries for butc support of the
Tivoli backup system.
- --enable-unix-sockets
- Enable use of UNIX domain sockets for fssync.
-
- It's also possible to disable some standard features. None of these
- options are recommended but may be useful in unusual circumstances:
+ --enable-transarc-paths
+ As discussed in A2 above, build for the traditional paths used by
+ the Transarc and IBM AFS distributions instead of the more typical
+ open source /usr/local paths. Passing this option to configure and
+ then running make dest will generate, in the dest directory, the
+ set of files and directory layout matching a Transarc or IBM AFS
+ tape distribution.
- --disable-afsdb
- Disable AFSDB DNS record support in the cache manager, normally
- used to find cell VLDB servers.
+ --enable-warnings
+ Enable compilation warnings when built with GCC. This is similar
+ to --enable-checking, but new warnings will only be displayed, not
+ cause a build failure.
- --disable-full-vos-listvol-switch
- Removes support for the -format option to vos listvol and also
- suppresses some additional fields that were added to vos examine
- output but may confuse older software.
-
- --disable-largefile-fileserver
- Disable large file (>2GB) support in the fileserver.
+ It's also possible to disable some standard features. None of these
+ options are normally needed, but they may be useful in unusual
+ circumstances:
+
+ --disable-kernel-module
+ Even if kernel headers are found, do not attempt to build the
+ kernel module. On Linux, if you provide this flag, you'll also
+ need to provide --with-afs-sysname, since OpenAFS cannot determine
+ the correct sysname automatically without the kernel headers.
+
+ --disable-optimize
+ --disable-optimize-kernel
+ --disable-optimize-lwp
+ --disable-optimize-pam
+ Disable optimization for the given portion of the OpenAFS code.
+ Usually used either for debugging to avoid code optimization making
+ it harder to use a debugger, or to work around bugs in the compiler
+ optimizers or in the OpenAFS code.
--disable-pam
Do not build the AFS PAM modules. Normally building them is
and should not be used unless you're still using the OpenAFS
kaserver (which is itself deprecated and should not be used).
- You may need to pass one or more of the following options to specify
- the paths and locations of files needed by the OpenAFS build process:
+ --disable-strip-binaries
+ Disable stripping of binaries on installation. You probably want
+ to use --enable-debug instead of this flag to also inclusion of
+ debugging information.
+ --disable-unix-sockets
+ Disable use of UNIX domain sockets for fssync. A TCP connection to
+ localhost will be used instead.
+
+ You may need to pass one or more of the following options to specify
+ paths and locations of files needed by the OpenAFS build process or
+ additional information required by the build process:
+
+ --with-afs-sysname=SYSNAME
+ Specifies the AFS sysname of the target system is SYSNAME.
+ Normally this is determined automatically from the build
+ architecture plus additional information (such as, on Linux, from
+ the kernel headers). The SYSNAME should be one of the options
+ listed in A2.
+
+ --with-gssapi=DIR
+ --with-gssapi-include=DIR
+ --with-gssapi-lib=DIR
--with-krb5[=DIR]
--with-krb5-include=DIR
--with-krb5-lib=DIR
Autoconf can't figure out whether to use lib, lib32, or lib64 on
your platform.
+ --with-gssapi is similar, except for the GSS-API libraries instead
+ of the Kerberos libraries. If you have to manually set the
+ location of the Kerberos libraries, you may need to do the same
+ thing for the GSS-API libraries.
+
+ --with-libintl=DIR
+ --with-libintl-include=DIR
+ --with-libintl-lib=DIR
+ Specifies the install location of the libintl library, used for
+ internationalization, or separately specifies the location of the
+ header files and libraries. By default, the default system library
+ paths will be searched. This library is not required on many
+ platforms.
+
+ --with-roken=PATH
+ --with-roken=internal
+ Specifies the install location of the libroken library. Specify
+ "internal" to use the embedded libroken library that comes with
+ OpenAFS (the default). This option is primarily useful for
+ building against a system libroken library if you have one.
+
+ --with-linux-kernel-build=PATH
+ --with-linux-kernel-headers=PATH
+ --with-bsd-kernel-build=PATH
+ --with-bsd-kernel-headers=PATH
+ Specifies the path to the kernel headers and build system. See the
+ information above for Linux and *BSD systems.
+
+ --with-linux-kernel-packaging
+ Tells the OpenAFS kernel module build system to use conventions
+ appropriate for building modules to include in Linux kernel module
+ packages. Primarily, this renames the kernel module to openafs.ko
+ rather than libafs-<VERSION>.ko, which is easier to handle in Linux
+ distribution init scripts.
+
+ --with-docbook2pdf=PROGRAM
+ Specifies the program used to convert the DocBook manuals to PDF.
+ Supported choices are fop, dblatex, and docbook2pdf. By default,
+ the user's path is searched for those programs in that order, and
+ the first one found is used.
+
+ --with-docbook-stylesheets=PATH
+ The location of the DocBook style sheets, used to convert the
+ DocBook manuals to other formats. By default, a set of likely
+ paths are searched.
+
+ --with-html-xsl=PATH
+ Specifies the XSLT style sheet to convert DocBook manuals into
+ HTML. The default is html/chunk.xsl. You may wish to use
+ html/docbook.xsml instead.
+
+ --with-xslt-processor=PROGRAM
+ Specifies the XSLT processor to use to convert the DocBook manuals
+ into HTML. Supported choices are libxslt, saxon, xalan-j, and
+ xsltproc. By default, the user's path is searched for those
+ programs in that order, and the first one found is used.
+
There are also some environment variables that you can set to control
aspects of the build. They can be set either on the configure command
line (preferred) or in the environment.
+ CC
+ The C compiler to use. Be aware that this is overridden on some
+ architectures that require a specific compiler be used to build the
+ kernel module.
+
+ CFLAGS
+ Additional flags to pass to the C compiler.
+
+ CPP
+ The C preprocessor to use. Defaults to cpp if found, otherwise
+ $CC -E.
+
+ CPPFLAGS
+ Additional flags to pass to the C preprocessor or compiler. This
+ is where to put -I options to add paths to the include file search.
+
+ FUSE_CFLAGS
+ Compiler flags required for building applications that use FUSE.
+
+ FUSE_LIBS
+ Libraries required for linking applications that use FUSE.
+
KRB5_CONFIG
To specify a particular krb5-config script to use, either set the
KRB5_CONFIG environment variable or pass it to configure like:
path:
./configure KRB5_CONFIG=/nonexistent
+
+ LDFLAGS
+ Additional flags to pass to the linker. This is where to put -L
+ options to add paths to the library search.
+
+ LIBS
+ Additional libraries to link all userspace programs with.
+
+ PKG_CONFIG
+ The path to the pkg-config utility. Currently, this is only used
+ to locate the flags for building the FUSE version of afsd.
+
+ YACC
+ The yacc implementation to use. Defaults to bison, byacc, or yacc,
+ whichever is found first.
+
+ YFLAGS
+ Additional flags to pass to yacc.
