[Lustre-discuss] Build lustre 2.6 Client on Debian Wheezy

[Thierry Lamoureux]

Hi,

Thanks for your replies. I tried Kilian's advice and it going further, but it is still not work.

You can see the result of make-kpkg here : http://pastebin.com/9E0gDGve

It looks like it doesn't found any module to build even if I've correctly configure MODULE_LOC variable according to this example : http://lists.lustre.org/pipermail/lustre-discuss/2014-May/017734.html

It would be great if someone have another idea.

Thank you,

Thierry.

Which script is under discussion here?  Definitely we've assumed bash is available, and use bashisms heavily in the testing scripts, since bash is standard on Linux.

If there are are a limited number of places where /bin/sh is assumed to be /bin/bash then it makes sense to fix them so that Debian builds work without users having to change their config.  Is this just a matter of using "#!/bin/bash" explicitly in these scripts, or should they be changed to conform to POSIX sh behaviour?

Cheers, Andreas
