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
