Re: Problem in compiling kernel
Have you tried to setup some sort of cross-compilation environment? Could you check CROSS_COMPILE env variable? Yes, I have given yes for that option during configuration OK, then that's your problem. CROSS_COMPILE is a string pointing to your cross compiler prefix. thanks, Daniel. ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies

Yes, It worked. Thank you sir. But I couldn't understand the reason. Can you
explain this to me?
Please keep kernelnewbies to CC:, so that other can read about this problem
if they hit it.
The reason for which it didn't work is that you haven't set a valid
cross-compiler
prefix in CROSS_COMPILE
When you set a cross-compiler prefix, the value stored in CROSS_COMPILE is
concatenated with the name of each tool used to compile your kernel.
For example, objdump will be used as ${CROSS_COMPILE}objdump. You set
CROSS_COMPILE=Y, and the tool to be used is now named Yobjdump, which
obviously doesn't exist.
Valid values for CROSS_COMPILE look like this: CROSS_COMPILE=
mips64-octeon-linux-gnu-.
Hope that things are now more clear.
thanks,
Daniel
