I have now gotten the modules to build but there is one part of the
process that doesn't work. On my pc I want to build all of the files which
are to be installed on the mips board. I am trying to create the files
which can be copied onto (or into) the redhat 7.3 miniport. "make modules"
works fine. It seems like I need to run "make modules_install" but it
complains about the .o files being the wrong architecture. So the basic
question seems to be how can I run depmod on the pc for mips?
Thanks again.

Just set this to the location of your target filesystem when you do the modules_install.

That's what I did. I defined INSTALL_MOD_PATH as $(TOPDIR)/modules. The
modules get put there but depmod fails.

depmod works on it's own architecture and I don't recall a way that
would make it work on cross-compiled modules. Maybe you should just copy
over the modules (INSTALL_MOD_PATH is a good start here) and execute
depmod on the target system...
Apart from that, insmod (instead of modprobe) should always work,
though...

You'd need to do a MIPS cross-compile of modutils, I guess. As an
alternative there is a perl script (depmod.pl) out there that can handle
'foreign' binaries. I haven't had cause to use it on MIPS yet, but have
used it ok PPC. I think it comes with the busybox package.

Busybox contains a platform-independend depmod perl script which
works fine even in a cross development environment.
