I'm compiling both an i586 AMD Geode and an arm TS7200 |
| 2 |
using the documentation (could be a neat handbook, btw) |
| 3 |
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/cross-development.xml |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
When using xmake to compile a kernel, if I choose from the list of |
| 6 |
canonicalized machine names |
| 7 |
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/cross-development.xml#machine_names |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
There are various possibilities, but if I choose i586 and issue the |
| 10 |
following commands: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
cd /usr/i586-gentoo-linux-uclibc/usr/src/linux |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
make ARCH="i586" CROSS_COMPILE="i586-gentoo-linux-uclibc-" |
| 15 |
INSTALL_MOD_PATH="$SYSROOT" menuconfig |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I get the error |
| 18 |
Makefile:412: /usr/i586-gentoo-linux-uclibc/usr/src/linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r9/arch/i586/Makefile: No such file or directory |
| 19 |
make: *** No rule to make target |
| 20 |
`/usr/i586-gentoo-linux-uclibc/usr/src/linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r9/arch/i586/Makefile'. Stop. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I realize that all machine architectures listed in the article linked |
| 23 |
above are not possible. I assume i386, i486, i586 and i686 must use |
| 24 |
their lowest-common-denominator ancestor, i386. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
It might be worth adding a note to the documentation |
| 27 |
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/cross-development.xml#xkmake |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
explaining these and other exceptions. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
My question is this, is the exception (or caveat) I noted valid for ALL |
| 32 |
instances of xmake's usage? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Meaning is it only the kernel that must be treated this way or any |
| 35 |
modules I would compile? Are there times when it is better to invoke |
| 36 |
make with the specific ARCH (in my case i586)? |
| 37 |
|

Thank you very much for your help and patience. |
