First I tried to follow the following explanations: http://www.xenomai.org/index.php/Building_Debian_packages I had the following problems: - the Xenomai version, that comes with Ubuntu 10.10 is very old, so I tried to compile my own packages - using git didn't work, because I needed a user name and password, that I don't have (the following command failed:) git clone git://xenomai.org/xenomai-2.5.git - then I tried to compile packages from a tar.bz2 archive I was able to compile the packages, but they did not work I suppose, that I have some wrong .config options. I then tried to compile a Linux kernel in the way, that is suggested for Ubuntu, using this tutorial: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild After some iterations, this worked. Now my questions: I would like to use kernel 2.6.38 or 2.6.39-RC5 with xenomai 2.5.6. 1) Is this a good choice, or is an older kernel or an older version of Xenomai more likely to work? 2) Do I need to run scripts/prepare-kernel.sh, or not? This is mentioned at: http://www.xenomai.org/documentation/xenomai-2.5/README.INSTALL but not mentioned at: http://www.xenomai.org/index.php/Building_Debian_packages Best regards: Uwe Fechner, TU Delft
