[lustre-discuss] Building lustre on rocky 8.8 fails?

[Jan Andersen]

I have installed Rocky 8.8 on a new server (Dell PowerEdge R640):

[root at mds 4.18.0-513.9.1.el8_9.x86_64]# cat /etc/*release*

I downloaded the kernel source (I don't remember the exact command):

[root at mds 4.18.0-513.9.1.el8_9.x86_64]# ll /usr/src/kernels
total 8
drwxr-xr-x. 24 root root 4096 Jan  2 13:49 4.18.0-513.9.1.el8_9.x86_64/
drwxr-xr-x. 23 root root 4096 Jan  2 11:41 4.18.0-513.9.1.el8_9.x86_64+debug/

Copied the config from /boot and ran:

yes "" | make oldconfig

After that I cloned the Lustre source and configured (according to my notes):

git clone git://git.whamcloud.com/fs/lustre-release.git
cd lustre-release
git checkout 2.15.3

dnf install libtool
dnf install flex
dnf install bison
dnf install openmpi-devel
dnf install python3-devel
dnf install python3
dnf install kernel-devel kernel-headers
dnf install elfutils-libelf-devel
dnf install keyutils keyutils-libs-devel
dnf install libmount
dnf --enablerepo=powertools install libmount-devel
dnf install libnl3 libnl3-devel
dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
dnf install libyaml-devel
dnf install patch
dnf install e2fsprogs-devel
dnf install kernel-core
dnf install kernel-modules
dnf install rpm-build
dnf config-manager --enable devel
dnf config-manager --enable powertools
dnf config-manager --set-enabled ha
dnf install kernel-debuginfo

sh autogen.sh
./configure

This appeared to finish without errors:

...
config.status: executing libtool commands

Type 'make' to build Lustre.

However, when I run make:

[root at mds lustre-release]# make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory '/root/lustre-release'
Making all in ldiskfs
make[2]: Entering directory '/root/lustre-release/ldiskfs'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target '../ldiskfs/kernel_patches/series/ldiskfs-', needed by 'sources'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/root/lustre-release/ldiskfs'
make[1]: *** [autoMakefile:649: all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/lustre-release'
make: *** [autoMakefile:521: all] Error 2

Alternatively, I tried make rpms which results in:

...
rpmbuilddir=`mktemp -t -d rpmbuild-lustre-$USER-XXXXXXXX`; \
make  \
         rpmbuilddir="$rpmbuilddir" rpm-local || exit 1; \
cp ./rpm/* .; \
/usr/bin/rpmbuild \
         --define "_tmppath $rpmbuilddir/TMP" \
         --define "_topdir $rpmbuilddir" \
         --define "dist %{nil}" \
         -ts lustre-2.15.3.tar.gz || exit 1; \
cp $rpmbuilddir/SRPMS/lustre-2.15.3-*.src.rpm . || exit 1; \
rm -rf $rpmbuilddir
make[1]: Entering directory '/root/lustre-release'
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/lustre-release'
error: line 239: Dependency tokens must begin with alpha-numeric, '_' or '/': BuildRequires: %kernel_module_package_buildreqs
make: *** [autoMakefile:1237: srpm] Error 1


So, I'm stuck - it seems this is something I do a lot; how do I move forward from here?
