• How to build a "linux-kbuild-$VERSION.deb" package

    From Robert Senger@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 9 20:20:01 2022
    Hi all,

    I am building my own custom Kernel by doing this (short version):

    apt install linux-source
    tar -xf linux-source-$VERSION.tar.xz
    cd linux-source-$VERSION
    make config
    make LOCALVERSION="-custom" -j8 bindeb-pkg

    This creates binary packages for the kernel image, the kernel headers
    and for linux-libc-dev. However, the kernel-headers package depends on
    the linux-kbuild-$VERSION.deb package, which must be installed from the
    debian repositories.

    Now I need to compile and install an older Kernel (with headers), for
    which version there is no linux-kbuild available any more in the debian
    repos.

    The debian website which describes the linux-kbuild-$VERSION.deb
    package points to the linux sources as source for the linux-kbuild
    package.

    But I have absolutely no idea how to build the linux-kbuild-
    $VERSION.deb package from the linux sources. Searched around Google a
    lot but with no success.

    So, what must I do to get a linux-kbuild deb package for a certain
    older Kernel version, if I have the appropriate kernel sources
    (installed as above) still available?

    Thanks!

    Robert
