It was a few years ago. I had the crosstool chain setup on a debian linux
box. These are notes I made at the time....
uncompress and untar the latest linux24.tgz from the web site
Then edit the linux24/Makefile....
....
HOSTCC = gcc
HOSTCFLAGS = -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
CROSS_COMPILE =
/usr/local/opt/crosstool/arm-linux/gcc-3.3.2-glibc-2.3.2/bin/arm-linux-
....
HOSTCC is what to use to compile the programs needed on the development
host.
HOSTCFLAGS are the flags to use when compiling host executables.
CROSS_COMPILE variable is used as a prefix to the cross compiler tools
when actually building the kernel.
Then these.......
make ts7200_config
make oldconfig
make menuconfig
make dep
make zImage
new kernel in linux24/arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux
make modules
INSTALL_MOD_PATH=`pwd`/modules make modules_install
puts modules in linux24/modules
