[Buildroot] an error in make ( no .config under kernel directory )

[Steven Woody]

the buildroot is the subversion version in Oct 14.

when doing make, i got

...
cp -dpRf package/config/buildroot-config
/home/src/buildroot/project_build_arm/M501/buildroot-config
cp -dpf  /home/src/buildroot/project_build_arm/M501/linux-2.6.22.10/.config
...

and, i go to dl/M501/linux-2.6.22.10 directory and found no .config
file.  what's wrong here?  the linux-2.6.10 kernel was downloaded in
another computer and was put in dl directory.


thanks.

You have to specify the filename for your configuration file in "make
menuconfig" -> kernel.

I don't think buildroot can supply a meaningful default configuration
file unless you are using one of the standard target boards found under
target/device (and none of them match an M501).

So you need to make your own. It appears that "make linux26-menuconfig"
should launch the configuration editor for you.

thanks for the answer.

1, when i type in `make linux26-menuconfig', an error i got:

[ -f /home/src/buildroot/project_build_arm/M501/linux-2.6.22.10/.config
] || cp  /home/src/buildroot/project_build_arm/M501/linux-2.6.22.10/.config
cp: missing destination file operand after
`/home/src/buildroot/project_build_arm/M501/linux-2.6.22.10/.config'

it seems it still need a .config under the linux-2.6.22.10 directory.

2, my M501 is an ARM 922T, if buildroot did not provide a default
kernel configuration for it, where can i get a similar one as a good
startup?

thanks.

go to the linux directory and do

make ARCH=arm xconfig 

and set whatever options you want.

If you do not know what options you need to set, 
then you should ask your chip vendor for a file.

You need to get it from your chip vendor.
We do not even know which chip it is, and it is really your job, noone 
elses.

You should probably do:
$ make dirs
$ make linux26-unpacked
$ cd /home/src/buildroot/project_build_arm/M501/
$ make ARCH=<your architecture> xconfig


With the Advanced Linux configuration, you can select 
the build to do an make ARCH=<arch> xconfig
automatically
