[Pkg-uml-devel] UML kernel define/config and arch/subarch

[Mattia Dongili]

Hello,

as some of you already knows I'm trying to add the "um" subarch to build
UML kernels.
I'm having some problems in forcing the kernel build with ARCH=um so I
suppose I'm missing something:
is arch/subarch support fully in place? 
or is it just not appropriate for an 'um' subarch (not what I've been
told on irc)?

AFAICS $(ARCH) is used both in 
dpkg-architecture -a'$(ARCH)' -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH
and friends and in
make-kpkg --arch '$(ARCH)' ...

and this is definitely not helpful for UML as it needs to build with 
make-kpkg --arch um

Any suggestion?

BTW here's what I'm using:

/--- debian/arch/i386/um/defines ---
| [base]
| flavours:
|  686
| kernel-arch: um
| suggests: uml-utilities, umlrun, rootstrap
| 
| [686]
| class: 586/K5/5x86/6x86/6x86MX UM
| suggests: uml-utilities, umlrun, rootstrap
| longclass: 32-bit UML 586/K5/5x86/6x86/6x86MX host
\------

and this modification to current scripts in SVN (I don't know why
builddeb is not there so I commented it out...)
