kernel built error

[krishna chaitanya]

Hi,

I have downloaded the latest kernel code using
git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common.git.

After that I have run the following commands

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- oldconfig // to set .config
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-

i have got the error.Following are the logs:

CHK include/linux/version.h

Hi The path here looks suspicious did you compile your own toolchain?

[krishna chaitanya]

Hi freakingtux,

Can you please explain what is toolchain and how to complie it?I am
new to this.

Thanks & regards,
Krishna Chaitanya.

You need to get yourself a proper toolchain and you do not necessarily want to compile it  yourself. if you follow http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html you will have the toolchain in prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/. If you don't know what a toolchain is it would be best to do some searching on the web

Hi Krishna,

First of all,
please check if you have prebuilt toolchain in your codebase.
If not 'git' clone it.

after that, jump to the
../prebuilt
and select your host.

If you are using ubuntu (say), jump to
../prebuilt/linux-86

then, 'toolchain'
../prebuilt/linux-86/toolchain

Now, you'll see many toolchains...
choose the one you want to.

EXAMPLE:
export PATH=$PATH:/home/MyAndroidCodeBase/prebuilt/linux-86/toolchain/
arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
export ARCH=arm


RECOMMENDATION:
* use prebuilt toolchain or 'arm gnu gcc' compiler from
codesourcery...
* visit webpages for related info (recommended 'toolchain version' for
your environment).


Regards,

Hi,
I am getting the same error:
root@bt:~/bin/kern/kern-src# make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-

  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
make[1]: `include/generated/mach-types.h' is up to date.

  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h

arm-eabi-ld: internal error in relocate_special_relocatable, at /home/jingyu/projects/gcc/android-toolchainsrc/build/../binutils/binutils-2.19/gold/arm.cc:9524

make[1]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/built-in.o] Error 1

make: *** [arch/arm/kernel] Error 2

How did you solve this?

Thanks,
Rajat.

Hi,

Perhaps you can try getting a build toolchain via Buildroot:
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/

Good luck,
Alvin Wong
