How to compile the OpenSSI software provided with OpenSSI Debian Etch/Lenny previews.

Although all the source is available it's not immediately obvious how to 
compile it.

All these commands should work on a Debian Etch or Lenny system.  
Attempting to do this on a Sarge, Squeeze or Sid system will fail.

For the user level packages do:

   1. apt-get source _package_
   2. apt-get build-dep _package_
   3. cd _package_
   4. make any changes you want.
   5. dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

For the kernel it's harder:

   1. Download the linux-source package you want,
      linux-source-2.6.12-ssi or linux-source-2.6.14-ssi
   2. make sure you have gcc-3.4 or gcc-3.3 installed (apt-get install
      gcc-3.4)
   3. make sure you have fakeroot, kernel-package and gawk installed.
   4. Set up some environment variables:

      MAKEFLAGS=CC=gcc-3.4
      export MAKEFLAGS

      INITRD_CMD=/usr/sbin/mkinitrd
      export INITRD_CMD
          

   5. get the kernel config.  If you're already running an OpenSSI
      kernel you'll find it in /boot/config-2.6.14-ssi-686-smp or
      /boot/config-2.6.12-ssi-686-smp.  Alternatively extract it from
      the  linux-image .deb:
         1. dpkg-deb -x linux-image-2.6.14-ssi-686-smp_1.9.6-3_i386.deb
            _dir_
         2. cp _dir_/boot/config-2.6.14-ssi-686-smp .config
   6. Make whatever changes you need in the config
   7. make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot  --initrd  kernel_image
   8. have an appropriate amount of fun.

(If you want to re-build the kernel you may run into an irritating 
make-kpkg bug - it seems to think that Documentation/lguest needs 
cleaning up even though it doesn't exist.  Just make a 
"Documentation/lguest/Makefile" that contains just one line: "clean:").
