Linux kernel for MIPS architecture

Linux kernel for MIPS architecture

[santosh kumar gowda]

Hi,
I want to compile the entire Linux Kernel 2.4.20
for MIPS architecture.
I have mipsel-linux-gcc cross compiler.
Is this cross compiler enough or i need something else..??
Can any one suggest me from where to start with...??
What changes to be made in the Makefile..???

Hi,

Change the following in the top level makefile

CROSS_COMPILE=mipsel-linux-
ARCH=mips


And change the link 
include/asm
of the top directory to point to
the asm-mips there.


Then try configuring and compiling the kernel
as usual.

Hope this helps
Regards
KK

Or always say `make CROSS_COMPILE=mipsel-linux- ARCH=mips' instead of `make'.

Changing the link is not necessay. `make config' will do that for you.

And most probably you'll want to use the kernel source tree from Linux/MIPS
CVS, not the one on ftp.kernel.org.
