New error cross compiling Linux kernel on Cygwin 1.7

I got a couple of new errors since the last time cross compiled the Linux kernel on Cygwin with 20 or so tool chains for the different arches and compare the results to Linux CYGWIN_NT-5.1 MediaCenterPC 1.7.0(0.212/5/3) 2009-07-24 09:59 i686 Cygwin Linux 454util 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64 #1

Conflict between elf.h and ELFTypes.h

I was tinkering with cross compiling the Linux kernel on Cygwin 1.7 and go a new error since the last time. The kernel compression now uses some more elf definitions for x86 which are in elf.h on Linux but in ELFTypes.h on Cygwin 1.7. You cannot include both because there is a conflict between

Re: Compiling Kernal on Cygwin [ELF Error]

The bash commands below the line should work to build a 2.6.30 kernel for i386 if you have the full cygwin 1.7 install This assumes you have an obj and src directory with the expanded tar ball for binutils, gcc, and the kernel versions used here The only source change you will need to

Building the Linux 2.6.30 kernel under Cygwin 1.7 almost works out of the box

I wanted to try the case sensitivity feature of 1.7 on ntfs so I tweaked the registry key and tried a kernel build. Using the stock 1.7 tools I build a couple of cross tool chains with binutils-2.19.1 and gcc 4.4.1 from source tar balls. Using the cross tool chains I successfully built

Sorry for the late reply, I was off getting radiation/cancer stuff done. Thanks for the MS pointer. It definitely sounds like the same problem. In my case, it caused a fully patched Windows XP Pro SP3 to be unbootable afterwards too. The partition was never formatted in Linux but it did have

Something very strange is going on. It happened on the second system also. I did a full Cygwin 1.7 install on the HP Media Center PC running Windows XP Media Center Edition at the lab and got the same results. After the install I pulled up a console and did a uname -a to make sure what version

This seems to be a repeatable problem so I'm reporting it FYI I have a dual boot Linux/Windows XP Pro box which normally runs Linux, but the wireless card died and it turns out my replacement card does not really work with Linux so I booted into Windows which did work with card so I could get
