Hi all,

I would like to rebuild a kmod.src.rpm package for a specific kernel. When I try to do it, this message appears:

Building target platforms: i686 Building for target i686 error: Failed build dependencies: kernel-xen-devel-i686 = 2.6.18-98.el5 is needed by mymodule-kmod-0.1.5-2.i686 kernel-PAE-devel-i686 = 2.6.18-98.el5 is needed by mymodule-kmod-0.1.5-2.i686.

Is it possible to rebuild kmod.src.package only for certain kernel?? i don't need to rebuild this module for kernel-xen or kernel-PAE only for kernel-i686 ...

Never done this for kmods, but I would try rpm -ivh the srpm, then edit the SPEC file to keep only the i686 stuff. then rpmbuild -ba your new specfile. This should be done as a regular user, see http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment

This CentOS wiki is for you:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules

Please go to section 3. Building a kernel module rpm package (kmod). There are some example lines near the end. This one may be of help:

"In a similar fashion, you may select which kernel-variant kmod package(s) to build. For example:

[user@host SPECS]$ rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` --define 'kvariants ""' cifs-kmod.spec 2> build-err.log | tee build-out.log

will build just the base-kernel kmod package. "
