Creating the proper directory structure. Uncompress the source into a directory of your choice. A directory in afs space is also valid. In the directory that you uncompressed the source in, you will only have an src/ directory. 1. Pick a system to build for, and note its default AFS sys_name. A directory will be automatically created for binaries to be written into with this name when you build. alpha_dux40 alpha_dux50 (only tested on 5.0A) i386_linux22 i386_linux24 (only tested with 2.4.0 kernel) rs_aix42 sgi_65 (file server not tested) sun4x_56 sun4x_57 sun4x_58 ppc_darwin_13 alpha_linux_22 (DES does not work, will require one more change to compile) hp_ux110 (No client support, but db servers and utilities work) hp_ux102 (No client support, but db servers and utilities work) 2. Using configure in the top level directory, configure for your AFS system type, providing the necessary flags: % ./configure --with-afs-sysname=sun4x_58 For Linux systems you need also provide the patch 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: % ./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. Be prepared to provide the switches --enable-obsolete and --enable-insecure if you require the use of any bundled but obsolete or insecure software included with OpenAFS. See README.obsolete and README.insecure for more details. B Building 1. Now, you can build OpenAFS. % make When the build completes, you will have a complete binary tree in the dest directory under the directory named for the sys_name you built for, e.g. sun4x_57/dest or i386_linux22/dest 2. As appropriate you can clean up or, if you're using Linux, build for another kernel version: a. To clean up: % make clean b. To build for another Linux kernel version: the system type defined in step A1. % ./configure --with-afs-sysname=i386_linux22 --with-linux-kernel-headers=/usr/src/linux-2.2.19-i686 % make Your dest tree will now include an additional kernel module for your additional kernel headers. Be aware that if the kernel version string which UTS_RELEASE is defined to in include/linux/version.h matches the last kernel you built for, the previous kernel module will be overwritten.
