[kamailio] Makefile System hangs the computer (#479) - sr-dev

16 Jan 2016

Hello everyone, 

I will try to describe a problem that I encountered recently while I was recompiling
Kamailio 431 Probably the problem has been already mentioned by someone at the bug tracker
but I couldn't find such a topic
So, I had an installed and already configured and working Kamailio I decided simply to add
a new module to it, for that I made the following instructions:

'make proper' -> result OK
'make include_modules="the list of needed modules" cfg'  -> slows the
whole OS (Linux SLED 12), I had a constant disk activity during the time I was waiting to
see how the things will finish 

After that I tried the same on a different machine, which is the same (virtual machine) ,
unfortunately the result was the same

After several retries I found that it is impossible to do:

make proper
make include_modules="" cfg

I found that I had to type a 'make cfg' after the 'make proper':

make proper
make cfg
make include_modules="" cfg
make all

I hadn't the time to find out why there is a such problem but I suppose that when you
do a 'make proper' your configuration file is deleted Than 'make cfg'
creates this config file again and finally 'make include_modules' looks for this
configuration file and fills it with the complementary modules Without this configuration
file the 'make include_modules="" cfg probably enters to an infinite loop
which as result makes your OS not respond

Can anyone confirm the problem ?

Best regards, 

Anton
