[User-Question] Xen 4.2 compilation hangs at stubdom directory

Hello all,

I know that here is not the best place to ask such a question but I
think that it's eventualy a problem of the source.

I want to create deb packages of Xen 4.2 for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. So I
created an build environment with pbuilder, installed all dependencies
and startet the compilation of Xen.

So now the problem is that the compilation hangs without any reason in
the stubdom directory. So there is no error output or something like
this, it simply hangs and don't continue.

As compiler I use GCC 4.6, with debhelper I created the Debian rules
files and I used the dist target.

Is this a known issue or is it a problem of my configuration? Would be
greate to get help, Xen 4.2 is a real milestone and I can only say "Go
on guys, good work".

Best Regards

P.S. Sorry for my bad english

I had some problems when trying to compile the stubdoms using make 3.82,
Olaf also had the same problem and sent the following fix, which works
for me:

Can you try if applying that patch solves your problems?

Hello Roger,

first I want to thank you for your fast response. I tried this patch
but in the pbuilder environment it also don't work. So I tested the
compilation directly on Ubuntu without a pbuilder environment and this
worked very fine. I think it's a pbuilder related problem. I know that
there is a pbuilder variant which uses qemu instead of simply schroots.
I think it could be a problem of the environment which pbuilder creates.

The compilation directly on the system succeeded and I could boot Xen
4.2 with all features the hardware supports.

I will see if I can test the pbuilder with qemu backend.

Best Regards
