You need to get the OM toolchain from <a href="http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Toolchain">http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Toolchain</a> (or Toolchains). Follow the instruction for setting up this toolchain from this page. It comes with setup_env which you will need to run. It sets up your cross-compilation environment variables.<br>
<br>I have a faded memory so check for problems that you might encounter from the bottom of <a href="http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Kernel" target="_blank">http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Kernel</a> page.<br><br>You might have to give CROSS_COMPILE=[compiler triplet] and ARCH=arm when making the kernel:<br>
<br>SHELL-Prompt:$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi ARCH=arm<br><br>This might be needed with menuconfig or xconfig. I don't remember. The kernel has a build script which I never used :)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

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