On OpenSUSE i can`t build DRBD 8.4.x from the source as described in the DRBD User’s Guide. I got some errors and missing man-pages.
I have had success with this approach:
download the sources
cd /usr/src/
git clone git://git.drbd.org/drbd-8.4.git
cd drbd-8.4
git checkout drbd-8.4.3
To create the configure script, autoconf is not enough.
autoconf
autoheader
Thereafter, the kernel source tree can be adjusted normal
cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
make cloneconfig
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
and the DRBD build tree prepared and installed
./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc --with-km
make
The man pages are not created because
make doc
is missing.
The rest is running again as normal:
make install
cd drbd
make clean all
Reboot
