[Xen-users] Anyone managed to build 4.1.2 from source on Debian Squeeze?

[xenusers <m+xenusers@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi list,

It seems a pretty simple goal, but my build hangs forever at:

...

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xen-4.1.2/stubdom'

sh ./docs/check_pkgs && make -C docs install || true

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xen-4.1.2/docs'

latex src/user.tex >/dev/null

I could leave it for weeks and it would never progress past that step.  I don't particularly want the docs on these systems so perhaps I could skip them in the build process, but it'd be nice to determine why it hangs and be able to build everything.

This is a fresh, fully updated Squeeze machine (x86_64), just installed three hours ago.  Did I miss a dependency for Xen to build the docs here?  (and if so, why does the doc build hang forever instead of failing out if a dep is missing?)

cd /usr/src

wget http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/4.1.2/xen-4.1.2.tar.gz

tar zxf xen-4.1.2.tar.gz

cd xen-4.1.2

make world

... the build will run fine for quite some time, before finally hanging on the docs ...

--------------------------

It's possible to build 4.1.2 from source on a stock Squeeze, yes?

Regards,

Mark
