Hi all

I had download kernel (linux-2.6.24.5-gdiumv3-2.2mnb). And I want to
do some hack and recompile this kernel.

However, I find "make menuconfig" doesn't work? Can't compile this
kernel for gdium as uasual ?

thanks

Hi

Building the kernel for gdium is like any other MIPS platform. First you need to copy the default config file in arch/mips/configs to the linux source directory and rename it to .config.
Then using the following command to compile the kernel.
make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mipsel-gdium-linux-gnu- vmlinux modules

You may need to change the mipsel-gdium-linux-gnu- according to your own toolchain.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

I think probably not. I have no experience in building the kernel in gdium. Which error do you meet in building the kernel in gdium? You can post the error message here so that we can know what's going on.
