"No rule to make target '.../elfconfig.h'" when trying to run "make"

"No rule to make target '.../elfconfig.h'" when trying to run "make"

Hey Linux RT Community,

 

I'm trying to add SCTP support to the latest RT PXI image 2019 Q4 according to NI Package Manger.

 

To do this I'm trying to rebuild the kernel and add the SCTP support but I'm having trouble getting the make to work properly. I have a hunch that I'm not setting my target up specifically but I can't figure out how I would change the current .config, or Makefile file to do so. 

 

Generally these are the commands that I'm running.

 

opkg update
opkg install packagegroup-core-sdk-dev

git clone https://github.com/ni/linux.git
cd linux
git checkout nilrt/19.0/4.14
export ARCH=x86_64

make nati_x86_64_defconfig

make -j6 ni-pkg

 

Here is the only thing I'm changing in the config file using the GUI "make menuconfig"

 

addSCTP.png

 

Below is a direct output from my terminal.

Re: "No rule to make target '.../elfconfig.h'" when trying to run "make"

After a lot of debugging I tried these steps out and was able to build the new kernel with SCTP.

 

#installing packages

opkg update
opkg install packagegroup-core-sdk-dev

opkg update
opkg install gcc gcc-symlinks
opkg install cpp cpp-symlinks
opkg install g++ g++-symlinks
opkg install bzip2
opkg install bzip2-dev
opkg install libbz2-dev
opkg install libc6
opkg install libgcc-s-dev
opkg install binutils
opkg install binutils-symlinks
opkg install git
opkg install libstdc++-dev
opkg install make
opkg install wget

 

#getting the repo

git clone https://github.com/ni/linux.git
cd linux
git checkout nilrt/19.1/4.14
export CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/
export ARCH=x86_64

 

#configure the .config file using the GUI

make menuconfig

 

#add to the config file (note sometimes this undoes the SCTP check so go back in the GUI load the .config and recheck SCTP)

make nati_x86_64_defconfig

 

#if you can get the elfconfig.h
cd ~/linux/scripts/mod/
cp x86_64-nilrt-linux-elfconfig.h elfconfig.h

 

#If you get argument list too long (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/45583/argument-list-too-long-how-do-i-deal-with-it-without-...)
ulimit -s 65536
vi ./scripts/package/export-kernel-headers.sh
#define MAX_ARG_PAGES 32

 

#install squash
git clone https://github.com/plougher/squashfs-tools.git
cd squashfs-tools/squashfs-tools
make
make install

 

#Once all that is done I was able to get the make to run!

make -j6 ni-pkg

Was very helpful. I ran into similar issue and without this I couldn't solve it. Just want to add another thread about squashfs file that gets added at the end and the instruction is bit different for newer kernels (I was using 21.0). Please follow this https://github.com/ni/nilrt/issues/63
