Kernel compilation problem

Kernel compilation problem

[Ben Hague]

Hi,
  I'm trying to compile the latest CVS kernel for a Philips Nino 300, and I 
keep getting the error;

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug in the CVS sources?

Known problem.  I asked the Nino maintainer to fix it a few days ago and
he promised to do this weekend.

kernel compilation problem

[Charles Lepple]

While configuring the kernel (2.2.5 from ftp.kernel.org), I get the
following message:

 Sound card support (CONFIG_SOUND) [N/y/m/?]
>scripts/Configure: drivers/sgi/char/Config.in: No such file or
directory
 *
 * Kernel hacking

Then, while executing 'make dep', I see a bunch of messages about
'SOCK_DGRAM' being redefined.

And when I try 'make zImage', it bombs compiling init/main.c -- there's
a "parse error" in linux/sched.h, and lots of stuff breaks. I have the
compile log if anyone can decipher it, but is this just a simple case of
me overlooking a patch? Or where can I find a preconfigured kernel
source tree?

Thanks in advance,

Get the kernel from {ftp,www}.linux.sgi.com.

You have to get the kernel from cvs:

export CVSROOT=":pserver:cvs@linus.linux.sgi.com:/cvs"
cvs login (cvs as password)
cvs -z3 checkout linux

The config is a little tricky. Look at
ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/test/vmlinux-indy-990212.conf
as example

"make zImage" doesn't work. Try "make vmlinux".
