ofed-driver compilation error, centos 6.7

[Marcin_K_]

I am using Centos 6.7, kernel 2.6.32-573.3.1.el6.x86_64, OFED 3.18-1. From the release information I see that mpss 3.6 is supported on RH6.7, but I do not see the corresponding ofed-driver package in mpss-3.6/ofed/modules. I tried to build it myself, but I ran into the following error trying to rpmbuild ofed-driver in mpss-3.6/src

It seems that there is a patch for this problem in ofed-driver/ofa_kernel-1.5.4.1/kernel_patches/backport/2.6.36/sdp_0190_for_2.6.36.patch, but it is not applied on my system. Also, I see no RH6.7 directory with patches. kernel_patches/backport/2.6.32-EL6.6 is applied instead.

Could anyone help me with this?

Thanks a lot!

I've been having problems building the ofed-driver source RPM, as well. I've installed MPSS 6.7 also. My kernel is 2.6.32-573.8.1. I'm using Mellanox OFED 2.4-1.0.4. Please advise.

Thanks.

I  had the same problem. To solve it you have to:

1. Unpack the rpm
2. Unpack src/pristine/ofa_kernel-1.5.4.1.tgz
3. Copy the ofed-driver/ofa_kernel-1.5.4.1/kernel_patches/backport/2.6.36/sdp_0190_for_2.6.36.patch file into patches/2.6.32-EL6.6
4. Delete $HOME/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ofed-driver.tgz if it exists
5. Copy the newly created ofed-driver.tgz into $HOME/rpmbuild/SOURCES
6. Recreate the RPM with rpmbuild -bs intel-mic-ofed-kmod.spec at the top level
7. Run rpmbuild --rebuild $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ofed-driver-[...].rpm

That should be it. I hope that helps somebody that bumps into the same issue.
