Re: need loadkeys --mktable under cygwin
I found a solution
i downloaded kbd-0.99
it doesn't compile under cygwin but if you take the files:
loadkeys.y
ksyms.c
findfile.c
getfd.c
than you take kd.h wait.h and keyboard.h from a linux kernel and
you can compile a simple loadkeys for cygwin to use to compile a kernel.
i made this with those commands (i.m using a cross compiler):
bison -y loadkeys.y
mv -f y.tab.c loadkeys.c
flex -8 -t analyze.l > analyze.c
i686-pc-cygwin-gcc -c -O2 -DDATADIR=\"/usr/share/kbd\" loadkeys.c
i686-pc-cygwin-gcc -c -Wall -O2 -DDATADIR=\"/usr/share/kbd\" ksyms.c
i686-pc-cygwin-gcc -c -Wall -O2 -DDATADIR=\"/usr/share/kbd\" findfile.c
i686-pc-cygwin-gcc -c -Wall -O2 -DDATADIR=\"/usr/share/kbd\" getfd.c
i686-pc-cygwin-gcc -s loadkeys.o ksyms.o findfile.o getfd.o -o loadkeys

Hello
i.m trying to build the kernel under cygwin with a cross compiler
(host=cygwin target=i386-linux) and it seems that the kernel need the
loadkeys program to be build. I have tried to find it but it seems that
it don't exist.
Does anyone know a solution for that problem ?
thanks
Yep. It's called "porting". :-)
Seriously, though, looking at the man page for "loadkeys", it doesn't seem
too relevant for Cygwin. In particular, the entry for "--mktable" says:
CREATE KERNEL SOURCE TABLE
If the -m (or --mktable ) option is given loadkeys prints
to the standard output a file that may be used as
/usr/src/linux/drivers/char/defkeymap.c, specifying the
default key bindings for a kernel (and does not modify the
current keymap).
Sounds like the kernel is not very cross-compilation friendly (i.e., it's
expected to be compiled *on a Linux machine*). One solution is to create
a "loadkeys" script that accepts only one option ("--mktable") and prints
out pre-defined text... Alternatively, contact the authors of the code
and notify them that their code doesn't build on Cygwin (and probably
won't on OpenBSD, either).
