Kernel compile problems...

Kernel compile problems...

[Alex deVries]

I cvs'd out the kernel this evening, and I tried compiling it.

The compiling tools I'm using are the same ones in the crossdev directory
on linus.linux.sgi.com (and I've converted _those_ to RPM's, for your
installation convenience).

I got the following problems with compiling it:

- in scripts/mkdep.c, in the mmap() function, references MAP_AUTOGROW,
which is unknown.  I just removed it out for my compile.

- in Ariel's instructiosn on how to cross compile a kernel, it says to use 
make CROSS_COMPILE=mips-linux CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/freeware/bin/bash

But, the compile then can't find mips-linuxgcc .  Apparantly, using:
make CROSS_COMPILE=mips-linux- CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/freeware/bin/bash
                            ^^^
works.

(I'd like to absorb this in to the HOWTO, incidentally).

- I get the following compile error:

Ok.  This is my fault, do not compile this module and you should be
fine.  I will try to commit all of my changes tomorrow (with my shmiq
code :-).

You need dev86 installed too
