The Linux Kernel Compile (Debian/Ubuntu)

Below is an image you can visualize the kernel if you want to, or read what’s below that image to begin.

These steps are to compile the linux kernel on Debian or Ubuntu, but you can use similar methods on other linux based systems.

Firstly we must download a whole bunch of packages, so we must run the command below.

Bash

sudo apt build-dep linux

Bash

there’s another aspect to this command: linux-image-$(uname -r) so the whole command would be listed below:

Bash

sudo apt build-dep linux linux-image-$(uname -r)

Bash

This downloads the “build-dep” (short for build dependencies) for linux and linux-image-$(uname -r) except I cannot get that second thing with uname in it to work. So i’ve noted that here. There isn’t anything else on this on the page that I found it on, in the Ubuntu documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel

So far I have been building this kernel on my computer without this second part of the build-dep command working. Without it working. Anyway we need to download a few more dependencies, not included in this command.

Bash

sudo apt install libncurses-dev gawk flex bison openssl libssl-dev dkms libelf-dev libudev-dev libpci-dev libiberty-dev autoconf llvm

Bash

one more, last one:

Bash

sudo apt install git

Bash

Now navigate to where you want to leave the source code for the linux kernel. Like, ~/Kernel/linux-6/ because this is the 6th version of the linux kernel we will be downloading. Once you’ve cd’d your way there, run this command, which takes a really long time, it downloads 4.5 gb of files and structure that make up the linux kernel:

Bash

sudo git clone https://github.com/torvalds/linux.git

Bash

This command, it downloads 4.5 gb but it’s required to build the linux kernel currently. The kernel won’t build on just the 100mb file from www.kernel.org, at least not on my machine. With this downloaded, you’ll have the kernel source and have the whole thing, you can investigate this further by googling like “linux kernel git clone” or something. I don’t know.

Anyway the command below is alot more complicated than just some “default” configuration, but it’s called defconfig anyway.. There’s really nothing simple about the linux kernel, and this is no exception. So below takes you to the directory in which that download was stored, the root of the kernel source tree, and then configures the build.

Bash

cd linux
sudo make defconfig

Bash

That doesn’t take very long. It looks through the kernel source and adds whatever is in the defconfig package to the .config file in the kernel root directory. After that, if there are no errors enter the next command:

What this command means is “debian-package” and use-j16, or, 16-threads of logic to compile the kernel with. If your computer doesn’t have 16 threads, you need to edit the command to include however many threads your computer has. So for 8-threads, you would enter: sudo make -j8 deb-pkg or sudo make -j 8 deb-pkg

A space doesn’t screw us up there. The word deb-pkg means compile the debian packages, the command outputs 3 .deb files, which we talk about below.

Bash

sudo make -j16 deb-pkg

Bash

See your system monitor, under the “Resources” tab you can see how many threads your machine has. If it’s not like 8 threads or 16 or greater, then compiling the kernel could take a long time.

Previous versions of the linux kernel had an error about debian-certs.pem when compiling on an ubuntu based system well they got rid of that in this latest version, so you don’t need to worry about that.

Finally after that command finishes, it takes about 1 hour or something, on my machine with 16-threads it only took about 30 minutes. After that, outside of the root directory of the linux kernel there will be some files. Look through them to find the 3 .deb files, and run the command

Bash

sudo apt install file.deb

Bash

So replace file.deb with the file you want to install. You may already be familiar with installing .deb files, I don’t know, but that’s how you install them. After a restart, that’s about it for the linux kernel, which has become kind of easy to do now, now that it doesn’t bomb your system, or fail to compile…

How to write a general version gradient_descent algorithm in c++?
December 2, 2023 by Kato Megumi
I want to write a general version of gradient descent algorithm in c++ to pass the following gtest. ... #include TEST(HW6Test, TEST1) { auto min1 = q1::gradient_descent(0.01, 0.1, cos); EXPECT_NEAR(min1, 3.14, 0.1); auto min2 = q1::gradient_descent(0.01, 0.01, cos); EXPECT_NEAR(min2, 3.14, 0.01); } TEST(HW6Test, TEST2) { auto min = q1::gradient_descent(0.01, 0.01, [](double a){return sin(a)+cos(a);}); EXPECT_NEAR(min, -2.36, 0.01); } TEST(HW6Test, TEST3) { struct Func { double operator()(double a) {return cos(a);} }; auto min = q1::gradient_descent(0.01, 0.01, Func{}); EXPECT_NEAR(min, 3.14, 0.01); } TEST(HW6Test, TEST4) { struct Func { double operator()(double a) {return sin(a);} }; auto min = q1::gradient_descent(0.0, 0.01); EXPECT_NEAR(min, -1.57, 0.01); } […]

How to use (double) pointer to update value of other pointer
December 2, 2023 by Tim
I am trying to merge an array of individually sorted linked lists together to one sorted linked list (this is leetcode problem 23 btw). The linked list is defined as: struct ListNode { int val; ListNode *next; ListNode() : val(0), next(nullptr) {} ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(nullptr) {} ListNode(int x, ListNode *next) : val(x), next(next) {} }; And my function look like this: ListNode* mergeKLists(vector &lists) { ListNode *head = new ListNode(-1); ListNode *current = head; while (find_if(lists.begin(), lists.end(), [](ListNode *node) { return node; }) != lists.end()) { ListNode **pSmallest = nullptr; // find smallest node value for (int i […]
How to use Windows.h Mutexes with two threads
December 2, 2023 by Timur Khalikshin
I'm facing a problem using mutexes in two different threads. I have two thread functions: a producer, which receives data from the user and writes it to a global variable, and a consumer, which receives this data from a global variable, processes it and returns it to the user. Therefore, I created two mutexes: "Information generated" and "Information processed". The first is in the “open” state when information has been received from the user and has already been recorded in a global variable, and in the “closed” state when this has not yet happened. The second is in the “open” […]

My texture is not showing up when running the program
December 2, 2023 by firfghr25
I am having trouble with my project. Prior to adding the light features my wall texture was loading. Now it will not load when running and is just a color instead of a wall texture. I am sure that my location of the wall.jpg is correct, as this worked on my last project and I used it as my base for this project. Below is my current code: const char* texFilename = "wall.jpg"; #include #include // GLFW library #define STB_IMAGE_IMPLEMENTATION #include "stb_image.h" // Image loading Utility functions // GLM Math Header inclusions #include #include #include #include "shader.h" #include "camera.h" // […]
Clang is in a folder that does not exist on my computer? [duplicate]
December 2, 2023 by axu
I am on a MacOS (Sonoma 14.1.1) and I use VSCode to code with C++. About a week ago, the compiler unexpectedly broke, and none of my code is able to run. I tried to reinstall clang, but my terminal said it was in the folder ~/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin... a folder that does not exist on my computer. I can't reinstall it using xcode-select --install since my computer thinks clang already exists on my computer. I am the only person that uses this computer. Is there anything else I should try?

Perspective incorrect in GLFW3
December 2, 2023 by Boblet67
I am tying to make a 3D game in linux in c++ with GLFW and glad. But proper 3D perspective is not correctly working and I can't work out why. This should draw an orange triangle which gets smaller when you get further away and bigger when you get closer but it never changes size and only ends up reaching the clipping planes and disappearing. Plus, if this helps, if I have the triangle at a z of 0 I can't see it even if I move back or forth. Here is the code: #include #include "glad/glad.h" #include "GLFW/glfw3.h" #include […]
c++ how can i access virtual method in a template class which will be overriden in derived class
December 2, 2023 by Miroslav Krajcir
I have a templated Base class with 2 virtual methods begin() and end(). I also have Derived1 class, derived from Base class and Derived2 class, derived from Derived1 class. I am overriding method "begin()" in first derived class, and method "end()' in second derived class. Bud i cannot access/use the method "end()" in my first derived class. Why? #include template class Base { public: virtual T begin() = 0; virtual T end() = 0; }; template class Derived1 : public Base { public: T begin() override { return Base::end() - 10; // not working // return end() - 10; // […]

Write a class that is generic over a type parameter of type `std::size_t A` and is only able to increment its `A` by 'consuming' i.e. `std::move` it
December 2, 2023 by Jim
I want to write a C++ class with such a definition: template struct Counter { static constexpr inline std::size_t valueOfA = A; T value; }; I want to have a member function addOne(), such that it consumes itself, e.g. Counter and returns itself but of a type where its type parameter is the sum of 1 and its previous type argument, e.g. Counter. Simply put, Counter Counter.addOne(). addOne() should also consume itself such that all variables referencing to Counter should not be valid variables after addOne() is called.

Only after mouse over is draw the item. What must i do to init drawing drop-down-list on open? regards Mario (edit add create window)
il2cpp mono dictionary stores value inside key and value is null

I am creating a mod for a game that uses il2cpp backend. I have been facing a weird phenomenon. I have been iterating the m_Items array and trying to get the objects, but the weird thing is, the key stores the value and the value is NULL. void print_entities(System_Collections_Generic_Dictionary_TKey__TValue__o* pDict) { if (pDict == nullptr) return; System_Collections_Generic_Dictionary_Entry_TKey__TValue__array* entries = pDict->fields._entries; if (entries == nullptr) return; for (uint16_t i = 0; i < entries->max_length; i++) { auto entry = entries->m_Items[i]; auto obj_key = entry.fields.key; // this stores the entry.fields.value auto obj_val = entry.fields.value; // this is null } } Here is […]
Compiling ffmpeg into wasm with emscripten
December 2, 2023 by user3738243
I'm trying to integrate ffmpeg directly into my WebAssembly-project. A friend of mine provided me link to a project https://github.com/alfg/ffmpeg-webassembly-example/tree/master which does almost exactly what I'm trying to achieve. It compiles ffmpeg and creates wasm with the necessary bindings to make it usable from Javascript. But instead of building Javascript bindings - like in that example, I would like to make a single stand-alone wasm file that contains ffmpeg. I would like to use CMake for the building process and I've been trying to use that within docker similarly to how the example is built. But I'm having difficulties linking […]
