New: Please mention build dependency on "bc"
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60575
Bug ID: 60575
Summary: Please mention build dependency on "bc"
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: low
Priority: P1
Component: man-pages
Assignee: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/[email protected]
Reporter: bugzilla.kernel.bpeb-o6iJJGtClBpGEOBiBlW9YYQuADTiUCJX@public.gmane.org
CC: [email protected]
Regression: Yes
Hi there,
test-compiling 3.10 resulted in an error in my build chroot. The easily identifiable reason was that a while ago, an additional build dependency on the "bc" was added. This obviously happened in
commit 70730bca1331fc50c3caacaea00439de1325bd6e
Author: H. Peter Anvin <[email protected]> Date: Thu Feb 14 15:13:55 2013 -0800
kernel: Replace timeconst.pl with a bc script
However, the "Kernel compilation" section Documentation/Changes was not updated accordingly and, I am asking you to change this.
In my opinion, the documentation should mention that. At least on Debian, the bc package is not necessarily installed - unlike for example the coreutils that are also needed to build the kernel without being mentioned in that document.
Cheers,
Christoph
