使用 dkms 构建 kernel 模块

Question

I'm not able to make dkms work on Centos 7. I've been trying changing things in dkms.conf all the day without any progress. Kernel upgrade triggers dkms (which again doesn't work). My minimum non-working example is dkms build . Any suggestions?

dkms.conf:

root@localhost ~# cat /usr/src/cs2-3.2.5/dkms.conf
MAKE="make -C src/ KERNELDIR=/lib/modules/${kernelver}/source"
CLEAN="make -C src/ clean"
BUILT_MODULE_NAME=cs2
BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION=src
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION=/extra
PACKAGE_NAME=cs2
PACKAGE_VERSION=3.2.5
#REMAKE_INITRD=yes
AUTOINSTALL=yes

Registering the module in dkms:

root@localhost ~# dkms add -m cs2 -v 3.2.5

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/cs2/3.2.5/source ->
                 /usr/src/cs2-3.2.5

DKMS: add completed.

Building the module using dkms doesn't work:

root@localhost ~# dkms build -m cs2 -v 3.2.5 --verbose

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:
make -C src/ clean
make: Entering directory `/var/lib/dkms/cs2/3.2.5/build/src'
rm -f cs2.o cs2.mod.?
rm -f .cs2.ko.cmd .cs2.mod.o.cmd .cs2.o.cmd
rm -rf .tmp_versions Module.symvers modules.order
make: Leaving directory `/var/lib/dkms/cs2/3.2.5/build/src'

Error!  Build of cs2.ko failed for: 3.10.0-1127.el7.x86_64 (x86_64)
Consult the make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/cs2/3.2.5/build/ for more information.

Consulting /var/lib/dkms/cs2/3.2.5/build/make.log isn't much helpful:

EDIT: /var/lib/dkms/cs2/3.2.5/build/make.log looks more like output of make install... .

However, calling make manually works just fine:

I believe I have all the needed packages:

root@localhost ~# yum list kernel*

Answer 1

There was probably some issue with the Makefile , because dkms build works with this dkms.config :

PACKAGE_VERSION="3.2.5"

PACKAGE_NAME="cs2"
MAKE[0]="make -C ${kernel_source_dir} SUBDIRS=${dkms_tree}/${PACKAGE_NAME}/${PACKAGE_VERSION}/build/src modules"
CLEAN="make -C ${kernel_source_dir} SUBDIRS=${dkms_tree}/${PACKAGE_NAME}/${PACKAGE_VERSION}/build/src clean"

BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION[0]=src/
BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]="cs2"
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="/extra/"

#REMAKE_INITRD="yes"
#AUTOINSTALL="yes"
