Guoqing Jiang reports that openSUSE cannot compile the kernel rpm due to "BuildRequires: elfutils-libelf-devel" added by commit8818039f95("kbuild: add ability to make source rpm buildable using koji"). The relevant package name in openSUSE is libelf-devel. Add it as an alternative package. BTW, if it is impossible to solve the build requirement, the final resort would be: $ make RPMOPTS=--nodeps rpm-pkg This passes --nodeps to the rpmbuild command so it will not verify build dependencies. This is useful to test rpm builds on non-rpm system. On Debian/Ubuntu, for example, you can install rpmbuild by 'apt-get install rpm'. NOTE1: Likewise, it is possible to bypass the build dependency check for debian package builds: $ make DPKG_FLAGS=-d deb-pkg NOTE2: The 'or' operator is supported since RPM 4.13. So, old distros such as CentOS 7 will break. I suggest installing newer rpmbuild in such cases.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
