View Full Version : Error building cloop under RedHat

Having some trouble here:
When I try to build cloop under RedHat 7.3, I get the following error:
compressed_loop.c: In function `clo_read_from_file':
compressed_loop.c:238: too few arguments to function `do_generic_file_read_Rsmp_5342f1d0'
make: *** [compressed_loop.o] Error 1

I've altered the Makefile in one way:
I changed :
ifndef APPSONLY
include $(KERNEL_DIR)/.config
endif

to:
include $(KERNEL_DIR)/configs/kernel-2.4.18-athlon-smp.config

as no such file exists on my RedHat system.

I'm trying to get it so I can repackage my MAME roms with a KnoppiXMAME 0.5 iso.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Here is the beginning of the remaster script for Modularity (www.modularity.org):



# $Image -- name of the iso to be remastered
# $hd_part -- Partition to be remastered
# $swapfile -- Location\name of swap file
Image=/mnt/modelk-0.5.2.iso
hd_part=hda8
swapfile=/tmp/knx-swapfile
cd /tmp

#Setup tmp 2K (2000M) swap file

swapoff $swapfile

echo "Creating 2Gig Temperary Swap File in /tmp as knx-swapfile"
dd if=/dev/zero of=$swapfile bs=1M count=2000 && sync && sync

# creates a 2G (2000M) swapfile in /tmp/

echo "Initializing Swap"
mkswap $swapfile # (initializes /swapfile)
swapon $swapfile # (turn on new swap)
echo "Swap enabled"

echo "Setting up file system"
mkfs /dev/$hd_part
mount /dev/$hd_part /mnt/$hd_part
echo "Mounting CD-ROM Image as loop back device"
mkdir /mnt/$hd_part/tmp

mkdir /mnt/$hd_part/tmp/CDROM

echo "Mounting CD-ROM iso to tmp"
mount -o loop $Image /mnt/$hd_part/tmp/CDROM
echo "Coping files from loop mounted .iso to CDROM directory of harddrive"
cp -Rp /mnt/$hd_part/tmp/CDROM /mnt/$hd_part/
echo "Copying complete"
echo "Unmounting .iso loop back"
umount $Image
rm /mnt/$hd_part/tmp/CDROM

mkdir /mnt/$hd_part/tmp/WORKING

echo "Extracting KNOPPIX compressed file system"
extract_compressed_fs /mnt/$hd_part/CDROM/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX > /tmp/UNCOMPRESSED
echo "Mounting UNCOMPRESSED cloop (compressed file system) to loopback device"
mount -o loop /tmp/UNCOMPRESSED /mnt/$hd_part/tmp/WORKING
#rsync -plarv /mnt/$hd_part/tmp/WORKING /mnt/$hd_part/
echo "Copying files from cloop to hard drive"
cp -Rp /mnt/$hd_part/tmp/WORKING /mnt/$hd_part/

echo "Cleaning up"
umount /mnt/$hd_part/tmp/WORKING
rm /tmp/UNCOMPRESSED

#rm /mnt/$hd_part/tmp/UNCOMPRESSED
rm /mnt/$hd_part/CDROM/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX

echo " Ready to chroot to Knoppix"
echo "To begin -- Type chroot /mnt/hda?/WORKING"

Oops -- You also need to download

extract_compressed_fs
and
create_compressed_fs

This is the mk_compressed script to compress the WORKING dir back to a compressed file system



mkisofs -R /mnt/hda7/WORKING | create_compressed_fs - 65536 > /mnt/hda7/CDROM/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX


And this the iso creation script:



d /mnt/hda7/CDROM
mkisofs -r -J -b KNOPPIX/boot.img -c KNOPPIX/boot.cat -o /mnt/myknoppix.iso /mnt/hda7/CDROM


Make sure to change the hda7 to your drive from the first script.

That's lovely, but where do I get those executables? I haven't been able to find a download site for the life of me...

Sorry :oops:

They are on the CD but you can also download them from http://www.modularity.org/knoppix/

Also in the first script I forgot to set the swapfile=/tmp/swapfile so add that after the Image= line.

I still need to add a lot of error checking code.

Good luck,
Avid

Many thanks. From your script and this howto: http://www.stirnimann.com/mystuff/doc/knoppix.txt I was able to throw together a new disc complete with ROMs.
