Vanishing convolution between density and compactly supported function

Find a pair of functions $f,g:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ such that: $f$ is smooth and compactly supported (say, on $[0,1]$ but this isn't crucial), $g(x)>0$ for all $x\in\mathbb{R}$, $\int g(x)\,dx=...

Square root of dirac delta function

Is there a measurable function $ f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}^+ $ so that $ f*f(x)=1 $ for all $ x\in \mathbb{R} $, i.e $$\int\limits_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(t)f(x-t) dt=1 $$ for all $ x\in \mathbb{R} $.
