Compiling makedumpfile from source

[manty kuma]

Hi Kazuhito san,

I am getting the following error when trying to use makedumpfile utility.

> copy_vmcoreinfo: Can't open the vmcoreinfo file(/tmp/vmcoreinfoLUQc25). No such file or directory.
> makedumpfile Failed

In your setup how are you providing the vmcoreinfo file? In my case it
is checking /tmp/vmcoreinfoLUQc25
Who generates this file?
Thank you very much.
