Hello,

 

The compilation of a kernel failed with the error returned: ERROR in function compile_kernel [common.sh:254]

Makefile:948 : la recette pour la cible « drivers » a échouée  

make: *** [drivers] Erreur 2  

 

This error occurred after activating in the config of the kernel:

 

----> Device Driver

-----> USB Support

------> USB Modem (CDC ACM) Support

-------> USB Serial Converter support

------> USB driver for GSM and CDMA modems

 

board : ORANGE PI PC

 

It was a test in order to use an iocrest converter: http://www.iocrest.com/en/product_details559_a.html

Using the cdc_acm protocol

 

do you have an idea ?

 

Being french forgiven me if google translation does not always understand what i want to say

output.log.pdf

I don't understand what you want to achieve. All those modules are already enabled as (M)odules and they should be built by default.

 

Building this kernel works for me - no errors.

I produced the bug as following streps

(1)git clone https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib --depth 1

(2)cp lib/compile.sh .
(3)sudo ./compile.sh BRANCH=default BOARD=tinkerboard KERNEL_ONLY=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes PROGRESS_DISPLAY=plain
(4)system type ---> [*] Support for the Large Physical Address Extension
(5)[*] Virtualization  --->  [*]   Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) support

 

then you will see the error

Our build script works fine ... there is a problem in kernel source, which fails to compile under this particular configuration. Unfortunately nothing unusual.

 

You need to start your exploration and help from here: 

https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/sources/rockchip.conf#L19-L20

 

We add a bunch of patches over this source but I doubt it's related to this problem. Remove them all but packaging (which only fix .deb packages) and try again.

how to understand what exactly leads to error?
What should I disable in the kernel?

You need to inspect the whole log. In case you made changes to the source or if you use WIP/CSC/EOL targets, the problem is yours.

when change

Unchanged build script on supported hosts works. That is the best what we can do.

If you are changing the script ... errors become your problem. What are you trying to achieve?

[ error ] ERROR in function compile_kernel [ compilation.sh:382 ]
[ error ] Kernel was not built [ @host ]

How to solve this?

Inspect the line where error is reported. Armbian build system seems to work - yesterday automated build was successful: https://dl.armbian.com/tritium-h5/nightly/ Its possible that something broke upstream during a day ... but that will have to wait.
