I've downloaded the Linux kernel 2.4.4-2002-01-19 from ftp.denx.de. I want to compile it for a custom MPC823-based board.
I'm a newbie with Linux. Maybe someone have a comment at my problems and fixes.... :) I'm using: gcc-3.0.3, cross-compiling for "powerpc-elf". binutils-2.11.2 newlib-1.10.0 make menuconfig make dep make clean make zImage During the compilation (last step) I've encountered the following problems: 1) error compiling coda.h (missing keywords) Fix: adding the switch -D__linux__ to the makefile. 2) error compiling ... (don't remember) Fix: changed sched.c:540 declaring time struct, to ..volatile.. 3) error compiling embedded_config.c: Fix: changed include sys/types to linux/types.h 4) I had to stop enabling "Magic SysRq Key" in Kernel hacking in menuconfig. Error: m8xx_setup.c:851: structure has no member named 'kbd_sysrq_xlate'. Please give me any comments about my fixes? Anyone had the same problems? Where do I find the zImage file - it is compressed, right? I've located the vmlinux, but as far as I know this is the uncompressed kernel-image. I want to compile SASH for powerpc too. Does anyone know a place with powerpc-ready source for this? I've tried to compile it from the latest source, but I'm missing some kind of way to make i compile for powerpc - the Makefile keeps compiling for i386 (working fine by the way). My next step is to find a simple bootloader.. Best regards, David Marqvar ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
