Dear all,
I was trying to run l4linux as a server above Fiasco.OC using the Features>Make Linux as Server from the l4linux menuconfig in foc_pbxa9 build folder. However, the compilation terminates with error because it can't see some header file. Any ideas what might have gone wrong

We never tried to build L4linux "as server". It is much likely that it will not compile, because we re-implement parts of the L4Re API to enable L4Linux on top of Genode. Of course, we do not re-implement the whole L4Re API, but only those parts that were needed by L4Linux using the current configuration. Therefore, if you select L4-specific parts of L4Linux that were never used before, it is likely that it does not compile anymore.
From my understanding the "L4Linux as a server" option is especially
needed to run L4Linux as a device driver container, is that right? We do not support direct device access of l4linux either. This is no attractive approach for us, as it only enables device drivers on top of Fiasco.OC, but not on other kernels. Or maybe you have other reasons for enabling this option?
I'm afraid you'll have to lend a hand if you really need to enable that option. You will have to create the headers that are missing and putting function dummies into them the compiler is complaining about. Lastly you've to look which function dummies are called that you have to fill with lives.
Feel free to ask for help on this list during that work, but you will have to provide a bit more information next time, at least a log output including the error that you've seen. Otherwise, it is all about unravel mysteries.

Hi Stefan, Oh I'll look into this and Thanks a lot for the reply!
Indeed I will post a more elaborate description if I faced future problems.. I just wanted to confirm that there is no problem with it not compiling and the problem is not just with my setup.
