-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 apologies for distracting the serious work of this list but I've a few questions relating to building the kernel for the first time.
I've only ever compiled a kernel before using the Linux From Scratch Instructions which were great and I managed to build a system. Now I'm following instructions given at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Kernel and have one or two problems. I obtain the kernel source as described and do a git checkout of origin/stable. I then copy defconfig-gta02 to .config and try to build but nothing I try works. If I try a "make menuconfig" I get errors. I didn't expect errors in the C Code. Given that my make menuconfig failed I was only asking for trouble executing "make vmlinux" but I couldn't resist it. ;-) I got asked for my processor type and Tickless System etc. etc. Actually I'm a bit confused if I build the kernel on my laptop I'm compiling for an i86 arch. there's no mention of bitbake or oe in these instructions. Surely I need a cross compiler. Once again humble apologies I know this list serves a serious purpose and the people on it do a very good job. In the ideal world you should not have to answer such questions, but welcome to my world ;-) Thanks in advance for any assistance. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJFCgFXlbjSJ5n4BARArbvAKDXS6Co255ml4O23bwmqsdp+jktsgCdGyHw Bwim/OZLbZcsX/YBJhWiz9k= =9pAO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
