Re: [ts-7000] Re: How to create bzImage from Debian Sarge OS for ARM 9 Technologic TS7300?

["Jaspreet Singh" <>]

Hi

My system is running on kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (OS: Ubuntu 7.10).
The scripts themselves downloaded linux-2.6.8.
As I mentioned in my previous post I was getting error:

 
/scripts/kconfig/mconf.c:91:error: static declaration of  'current_menu' follows non-static declaration
I got some idea through this link:
  http://www.busybox.net/lists/uclibc/2005-July/012187.html

and changed line 91 in extracted files which led to a new error(the one in line 90) as I mentioned in previous post. 

So now to do this I found a new link:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2006-10/msg00073.html

 I changed linux 2.6.8.tar.bz2 file that crosstool downloaded as mentioned here. 

Now I encountered some other error which said that my gcc was too old a version. Reading carefully i saw that it wanted a gcc version that was 3.x but with mine being 4.1.2 it was considered bad and compiling stopped :( 

Now I got another idea, I went to synaptic package manager and uninstalled gcc. I now installed gcc-3.4
 which was a separate package. I also created a symbolic link to gcc-3.4 named gcc:

ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc-
3.4

Also I added a couple of more locations to the PATH variable which were the include destinations for gcc-3.4.  I saw their location through  Package Manager  and added them to PATH variable.

Now it worked still longer this terminating by another error:

Its not clear which step in your build is failing. If you could
provide a little more detail, someone might have a suggestion.

So how about;

1. What type of host are you trying to build on (uname -a)?

2. What compiler is the host using (gcc --version)?

3. Which TS kernel are you trying to build (2.4 or 2.6)?

4. Which step is causing the build error;
- building cross-tools
- building the kernel
- building modutils
- building a driver
- building a root filesystem

etc.

As you can see there are many steps that can go wrong :)

Cheers,
Dave
