And these errors look like as if you included (non-existent) socket

You obviously included some of the stuff that doesn't exist in config.

cases even ELKS code is too complicated. Alan has pointed this
out with the #ifdef madness and other very little used options.
Most of IFDEFs were there due to bugs in the source .. old code was just
#if 0ed out and replaced with new one. At least that's what i did in
parts of kernel i
Should I give this a try, or would it be a waste of time,
because I can never mount a root filesystem?
You don't need FS for such application. Kernel should work without FS;
you just need some way of telling it where the program's CS begins in
memory-mapped ROM/flash.

In that case he should enable only one console driver. That's kinda like

Hmm. I guess I haven't seen such bare LCD panels. IMO it's not worth the

to make sure you have the integrated LCD controller to match the panel.
