kernel compilation help

I am new to the maemo, but I have had some success compiling applications in scratchbox. I am looking to recompile the kernel, but when I run make I get an error. There is not much clear information on the net for what might be causing the problem (other than some sort of binary incompatibility of my installed tools). I appreciate any help and apologize if this is a repeat inquiry.

Thanks,

- Bryan

Hi,

I just published a new version of the kernel guide. Please follow its
instructions.

http://maemo.org/development/documentation/how-tos/4-x/kernel_guide_for_maemo.html

Re: kernel compilation help [In reply to]

Hello,
I didn't try this yet, but I have doing this in the previous
version, 3.1 and I could use the wifi following the instructions in
the early guide, but since I have a particular interesting on having
wifi interface working with 4.0, I can't see any instruction about how
to compile the wifi driver. Is there a special step that I should
follow?
Another question: is it possible to have a Linux omap kernel, let's
say 2.6.24 (git kernel), rather than 2.6.21 and still have the wifi
interface working?
Thank you,
Leandro

Re: kernel compilation help [In reply to]

Is there a way to upgrade my N800 to OS 2008? Otherwise I am still using bora.

Yes, there is:

Or you can just wait a little bit more for the official firmware upgrade ;-) !

Re: kernel compilation help [In reply to]

Thanks!

I will get the official version next month, but I am trying to use this for a course project, so time is of the essence. Hopefully I will not run into the same problems as the bora release. I still don't know why I got those error messages - I had a working 3.2 SDK...

Re: kernel compilation help [In reply to]

I seem to be getting the same problem with the 4.0 SDK. Is it failing to find an
input? Is it a problem with my toolchain? I can compile the hello world program
just fine...

Any help appreciated.

Re: kernel compilation help [In reply to]

Any other ideas on what might be going wrong? I am able to use the toolchain to build standalone apps, but building the kernel does not seem to work. Is there a way to determine what is causing the error?

Re: kernel compilation help [In reply to]

This seems to work if I compile from within an Ubuntu install on a VM using VMWare, but after installing scratchbox, maemo SDK, and Nokia binaries to a native Fedora system I get the errors I wrote about previously. Is there any reason why this would work well from Ubuntu but not Fedora if the install scripts all worked correctly?
