Re: [ts-7000] cannot build kernel ts7800 cygwin, please help!

["John Shaffer, PhD" <>]

man are you jumping into the deep end for a newbie.  Do you actually NEED to build the whole kernel?  The 7800 comes with a 2.6 kernel already installed.  If you are writing kernel code of some sort consider building a loadable module.

The other thing is that you state you are entering "make ts72xx_defconfig" yet you say you have a 7800. That may be the cause of the problem.

Have you tried simply "make" or "make bzImage" ??

I'm a newb with Unix and I have to build a 2.6 kernel for the ts7800
for a school project.

I do not have a Linux PC so I'm trying to buld the kernel using
Cygwin.

First I dowloaded this kernel source:

ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-7800-linux-sd/sources/linux-2.6.21-ts-
src-latest.tar.gz

I have edited the makefile in the source directory to point to the
windows crosstoolchain downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-7800-linux-sd/cross-toolchains/arm-
2005q3-2-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-windows.exe

I changed the export path to point to the this toolchain.

ie.

export PATH=$PATH:/toolchain path

after "make ts72xx_defconfig"

I got this error:

scripts/kconfig/conf.o:conf.c:<:text+0x91>: undefined reference
to '_libintl_gettext'

I tried using the toolchain below also and got the same error.

http://www.embeddedarm.com/linux/ARM.htm#armlinux/Cygwin Crosstool
gcc-3.3.4-glibc-2.3.2

I have searched previous posts, but I still cannot figure out why
this is not working.

Does anybody know what I am doing wrong, or if there is a guide for
doing this somewhere? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
