HP-UX 11.22 kernel compilation problem.

[Ilia Dyoka]

Hi, All.
We have rx2600 with HP-UX 11.22. When I try rebuild kernel ( even with default kernel parameters) I get error:

# /usr/sbin/mk_kernel -o /stand/vmunix (pid: 20818)

I had the same sort of error with HP-UX 11.22:

Error 21: "/usr/conf/space.h.d/core-hpux.h", line 286 # ')' expected before ',' to close scope.
14, 0, TIF_MINVALID, 0,

when trying to tune the kernel parameters for Oracle. The problem seems due to having spaces in kernel parameter formulae. In my case my solution was to edit /stand/system and change
nfile (15*NPROC + 2048) /* Bad */
to
nfile (15*NPROC+2048) /* Good */

though I may have also edited /usr/conf/space.h.d/core-hpux.h

I did find a problem report (JAGae63410) against kmtune & kcweb that implies that they should be stripping white-space (which the JAG says SAM does for you on PA-RISC).
