I'm a newbie to embedded and am getting stuck. I have a PPChameleonEVB board running a 405EP processor. I have tried many things, and can now boot Linux 2.6.15 on the board using an NFS share as both root fs and swap. When I try to compile & install the kernel modules on the board, i get an message about perl and then it errors. So i'm trying to install perl. And failing. Can someone tell me the following please, from a working setup (i.e. where you can compile/install kernel 2.6.15 + modules) :- 1) Kernel version/Linux distroof the i386 PC used for the cross-compiling. 2) ELDK version and if there are any patches needed. 2) Perl version (or how to stop the Kernel build using perl) I'm using Slack 8.1, kernel 2.4.18 and perl 5.6.1 on the cross-compiler pc. Anything newer fell apart a lot earlier. Many thanks in advance. Adrian Atkins IT Live Limited tel: 0161 408 3327 fax: 08702 360 443 skype: adrianitlive ES mob: (0034) 606806236
