Kernel compilation

[MR VILLOT MR MONTAGNE]

Hi,

I want to change shmmax value and when the system is compiling the new kernel; I get this message :
cc: 487:warning:Possibility incorrect message catalog

I do :
#what /usr/bin/cc
/usr/bin/cc:
LINT B.11.11.06 CXREF B.11.11.06
HP92453-01 B.11.11.06 HP C Compiler
$ Sep 8 2000 23:13:51 $
#what /opt/ansic/lib/nls/msg/C/cc.cat
/opt/ansic/lib/nls/msg/C/cc.cat:
HP92453-01 B.11.11.06 HP C Compiler Copyright 1985, Hewlett-Packard Co.

Compiler and Message Catalog do match.

Can I compile the new kernel without any problems ?

Thanks

Laurent

How are you compiling the kernel - manually or via SAM?

Are there any other messages - say in syslog?

Have you booted from previous kernel and tried to make a new kernel?


Just a few ideas.

compilation itself should not give you problems - if it was building earlier, it will most likely build now, too.

the mismatch between the compiler and its message catalog means that it will not be able to report errors or warnings properly, it may only print error/warning message numbers instead.

of course, its best to get the latest compiler patch and make sure that there is no mismatch.

The warning about "Possibly incorrect message catalog" is caused by having NLSPATH set, but not having
/opt/ansic/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N.cat:/opt/ansic/lib/nls/msg/C/%N.cat
in the NLSPATH value. You can either unset NLSPATH or add those paths to it. See "man environ" for documentation of NLSPATH.

For 11.11 you don't _need_ to recompile the kernel to change shmmax. It's a dynamic tunable.

Just do kmtune -u -s shmmax= where represents whatever you want to set it to.
