Hi all, I tried to compile a linux kernel for my Palm Tungsten T with openSUSE 10.2 this weekend, but I didn't succeed. At first I fetched the kernel trunk from Montavista, they also provide a 'palmtt_defconfig' file to configure the kernel (2.6.20 I think) for the Tungsten T. Next I used Yast to search for and install the packages required to build the kernel for the ARM architecture. Well, I realized, that openSUSE 10.2 just ships a binutils package (cross-arm-binutils.rpm) for arm, but no corresponding cross-compiler. I wonder if the cross-arm-binutils package is of any use without a corresponding cross-compiler? Anyway, I did not want to compile and setup my own toolchain and hoped, that openSUSE ships a toolchain out of the box. While searching for this, I recongnized icecream and the fact that openSUSE 10.2 also ships the cross-arm-gcc-icecream-backend package. It seems like this was what I wanted. I examined the archive that was placed in /usr/share/icecream-envs/cross-arm-gcc-icecream-backend_x86_64.tar.gz and it seems like it holds the complete gcc toolchain to compile software for arm. After I installed an configured icecream, I configured the Montavista kernel: # cd ~/Documents/linux-omap/ # make CC=icecc palmtt_defconfig I checked the generated Makefile for ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE variables and they seem to be set correctly: ... SUBARCH := arm ... ARCH ?= $(SUBARCH) CROSS_COMPILE ?= arm-linux- ... Next I set ICECC_VERSION to the arm toolchain envrionment: # export ICECC_VERSION=/usr/share/icecream-envs/cross-arm-gcc-icecream-backend_x86_64.tar.gz Then I started to compile the kernel using: # make CC=icecc zImage But I get the following output: ... cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mlittle-endian" cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mapcs" cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mno-sched-prolog" cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mabi=apcs-gnu" arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.c:0: error: bad value (armv4t) for -march= switch arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.c:0: error: bad value (arm9tdmi) for -mtune= switch ... make[1]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Fehler 1 make: *** [prepare0] Fehler 2 Well, it seems like icecream takes the wrong cross-compiler (cc1). So how do I tell icecream that it should take the cc1 provided by the 'cross-arm-gcc-icecream-backend_x86_64.tar.gz' archive to compile the kernel? Setting it via the envrionment variable ICECC_VERSION does not work. Kind regards, Jörg. ------------------------------------------ Here's the full debug output of icecc: # make CC=icecc zImage ICECC[22178] 15:25:46: <building_local> ICECC[22178] 15:25:46: </building_local: 3ms> CHK include/linux/version.h make[1]: »include/asm-arm/mach-types.h« ist bereits aktualisiert.
