[lustre-discuss] Compiling debian client packages

[Hanno Rein]

Hello,

I have successfully compiled (and installed) debian packages for all the lustre server components. However, I'm running into problems trying to compile debian packages for the clients.

I'm configuring lustre version 2.16.57 with the following options:

   ./configure --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-headers-6.1.0-37-amd64 --disable-ldiskfs --with-zfs --enable-client --disable-server

When trying to compile with make I get the following errors:

In file included from /home/rein/lustre-release2/lustre/osd-zfs/osd_handler.c:30:
/home/rein/lustre-release2/lustre/include/md_object.h:20:3: error: #error "client code should not depend on md_object.h"
    20 | # error "client code should not depend on md_object.h"

       |              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       |              lprocfs_init_ldlm_stats


When I don't disable the server parts, e.g.

   ./configure --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-headers-6.1.0-37-amd64 --disable-ldiskfs --with-zfs --enable-client

then the compilation works fine, but make debs complains:

   dpkg-genchanges: warning: package lustre-client-utils in control file but not in files list

and as a result no client debs are created (only the server ones).


Any hints on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
