Hi, Compiling on the target should be possible but very slow. When on the target you need to remember that you are no longer cross compiling. This does assume that the NFS file system is 'sane' as far as 'gcc' is concerned, it is ceratinly big enough at over 1G (for an embedded system). The only reason for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.6.10_mvl401]#. prompt was I happened to be logged into the host where I was preparing a custom set of kernel modules & device files for inclusion into a root filesystem (produced by DevRocket). I need to be root to get the permissions right on the target files. You should be able to build the kernel & modules as non-root although installing the modules requires root permission to chown the files to uid:0 gid:0 before using them. Very rarely do you gain much by re installing in the Linux world. If the machine boots you should be able to add/remove packages with the package management tools that the Linux distribution has. The *buntu series has one of the better tools for doing this - you need the 'package manager' rather than 'add/remove software'. AFAIK it is the same tool with a different 'view' I would fire it up and make sure that you have installed all the relavant 'devel' packages, particularly 'glibc-headers' (that is the Fedora/Redhat name). That should put the host header files under /usr/include. I don't understand why your build is failing - it would seem to be finding the files...in that it references line numbers within limits.h for example. It is the 'no include path' bit I don't get - being that /usr/include is *the* well known path for include files. It could be a partial install of gcc?? Have a look in /usr/include/limits.h to see what it is complaining about. I have attached the Fedora 8 version for comparison - I think you will find the Ubuntu limits.h is trying to load another file of the same name and it is this file that cannot be found. If you decide to switch to Fedora, I would either wait for Fedora 9 to be officially released, use Fedora 8 or given you are effectively building a server try CentOS.

There are .mvl_cross_compile, .mvl_target_cpu and .mvl_target_installdir already in the dir which contain arm_v5t_le-, arm and arm/v5t_le respectively. I then use make mrproper It seems this make does some cleaning things all right. But still I got the following errors when I compile, [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/workdir/lsp/ti-davinci$ make V=1 davinci_dm355_evm_defconfig make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts/basic gcc -Wp,-MD,scripts/basic/.fixdep.d -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/basic/fixdep scripts/basic/fixdep.c In file included from scripts/basic/fixdep.c:113: /usr/include/limits.h:125:26: error: no include path in which to search for limits.h In file included from /usr/include/bits/socket.h:31, from /usr/include/sys/socket.h:35, from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:24, from /usr/include/arpa/inet.h:23, from scripts/basic/fixdep.c:115: /usr/include/limits.h:125:26: error: no include path in which to search for limits.h make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1 make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2 I saw you compiled with a command line prompt like, [EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.6.10_mvl401]#. I'm wondering if I should compile in the console emulation window connecting to the EVM board via RS232 with my prompt "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (i.e., target $ in the guide), and use the workdir which has subdirs of filesys and lsp as the shared file system. But if my gcc package has any bug, then I don't think I can pass compilation even using shared file system. I am using Ubuntu linux 7.04, I did not perceive any mis-operation in my last installation but do you think it help if I re-install ubuntu or another linux such as Fedora 9 Beta? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

MV added this to the Makefile so might as well use it. The V=1 increases verbosity of the kernel build. This should give more information as to what is going wrong My guess is there is something wrong with your host tools (that is native gcc for the PC). The host compiler is needed even when cross compiling so that the kernel configuration menus can be built. For reference my kernel tree does this..... [EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.6.10_mvl401]# make V=1 davinci_dm355_evm_defconfig make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts/basic gcc -Wp,-MD,scripts/basic/.fixdep.d -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -I/opt/mv_pro_4.0.1/montavista/pro/bin//../include -o scripts/basic/fixdep scripts/basic/fixdep.c for the file you were having problems with.
