-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Somebody in the thread at some point said: | 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 ;-)
Three bits of advice: 1) like Shaz told you need the cross toolchain 2) Examine the ./build script and change it to point to your cross toolchain location, normally /usr/local/openmoko/... 3) Get the config set up by cp arch/arm/configs/gta02-moredrivers-defconfig .config then run ./build - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkURcsACgkQOjLpvpq7dMp0fgCfdP3Gs7NG0itZdasMy6FLe7W+ qZwAn2p4YMnFbKIyBRGAAqck5vfls6YA =nNCO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
