Also it has been two hours since it started compiling and it isn't

mistake .

My advice is that
1) Clone your repo using the link that I have sent to you.
2) You have said that you are an absolute beginner, so create your topic
branch from upstream kernel master branch.
3)Last but not least, please read Linux Kernel In Nutshell(LKN)

If you want to complile for arm, an example,
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabli- make distclean
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabli- make omap2plus_defconfig
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabli- make zImage dtbs

This zImage can be run on BeagleBone Black.

Hey,
I am an absolute newbie , I tried to clone greg kroah-hartman's
staging tree repository , somehow I was not able to boot in the kernel
I built .

Also, Does this command below give me the latest kernel code ?

I have tried to clone another repository using the command below

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git


while building with this , I had to install gcc plugin-dev . I don't
understand why ?
I didn't have to do it last time I built the kernel

You may use this link,
https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/linux-next.html
In summary, first you clone main upstream tree then add linux-next tree.
Whenever you want to create a patch, create a topic branch from the
latest next-* tag.

Amit Kumar
