Compilation error "fatal error: 'xxxx. H' file not found"

This compilation error occurs when compiling an open-source project:

Fatal error: 'libelf. H' file not found
# Include <libelf. h>
     ^
1 error generated.

The solution is to install the elfutils-libelf-devel package:

Yum install elfutils-libelf-devel

Or:

Dnf install elfutils-libelf-devel


No error is found in the elf. h file when the Nexus 7 Android kernel is compiled on Mac OS X.

Nexus 7 encountered a fatal error when compiling the Android kernel for Hillstone 10.8.4: the elf. h file could not be found:

Make [2]: *** [scripts/mod/mk_elfconfig] Error 1
Make [1]: *** [scripts/mod] Error 2
Make: *** [scripts] Error 2

No one knows how to fix this problem. Can I continue to compile the kernel?

Solution 1:

I answered my own question because I found an alternative to the lost elf. h file:

Cd/Volumes/Android/WORKING_DIRECTORY/external/elfutils/libelf/
$ Sudo cp-a elf. h/usr/include

Unlike the current copy of the elf. h file in/usr/include, the file is compiled for a while and then stopped again. Different errors occur:

Arch/arm/mach-tegra/sleep. S: Runner messages:
Arch/arm/mach-tegra/sleep. S: 240: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode 'smc #0'
Make [1]: *** [arch/arm/mach-tegra/sleep. o] Error 1
Make: *** [arch/arm/mach-tegra] Error 2

I don't know what to do though this is the last error.

Update: I have abandoned the attempt to compile the Android kernel directly under OS X. I started to install 64-bit Ubuntu, and then found the instructions on this page:

Http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? T = 1774035

Except as I said, I do not recommend the above pages as the start and VMWare players. It works very well. I have not encountered any problems with network connections. I can ssh to Ubuntu to easily move the compiled kernel back to OS X.

I also mentioned this page to get the correct kernel source code for my device (grouper), pre-built GCC, and syntax for making the command (to make tegra3_android_defconfig ):

Http://source.android.com/source/building-kernels.html

I hope this answer will save lives for a while.
