Re: [Vserver] Re: about Vserver for ARM
Hi Herbert, Thanks! I can build vserver for ARM successfully with your approach, but how to use make install to install those verser related files to corrosponding directory in rootfs? For example, my rootfs is under /work/rootfs/opie, how can I install vserver to this directory? Actually I want to use a binary make for ARM to run make install on the phone, but I failed to get the ARM version make. Any ideas?

Any ideas? if you have a proper cross compile toolchain (if not, you can get one from me), try the following: export ARCH=arm export CC=arm-linux-gcc export CPP=arm-linux-cpp export CXX=arm-linux-c++ export DIET=arm-linux-diet then do: ./configure --prefix= and make if your toolchain is working correctly, that should build you a proper util-vserver toolset for arm note that you might have to comment out the warning line in the alternative syscall implementation like this: // #warning syscall arch arm not tested yet best, Herbert Thank you, Wenbin ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
