Below, please find a transcript of the commands I executed.
You'll see that I installed the SDK, tried to "make scripts," and then got
attacked with a storm of config questions. I cut off the transcript at the
second question, but there are dozens that follow.
There *is* a .config file in the SDK directory, and it is identical to the one
in our kernel build directory:
/home/pturley/yocto-mpu-build/tmp/work/dm8148_mpu-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-ti81xx-psp-2.6.37-r0+spawnlabs+r0/git
Unfortunately, I'm still something of a n00b when it comes to building the
kernel. I suspect *most* of these questions are irrelevant to hostprogs, but I
can't say that *all* of them are.
If I just hold down the "Enter" key, I believe all the defaults are taken, and
I eventually *do* get hostprogs that execute, but I don't know if they're
appropriate to my kernel. (Again, I'm a n00b, so perhaps there's no effect at
all.)
