Re: compile a linux kernel for ppc4xx, error message

Wonderful!
I  download the newest develeping version of linux kernel from bitkeeper.
And compiled without any errors.

I don't have any Montvista or others. I only have binutils-2.13 and gcc-core-2.95.3.

thank you very much!

1. The Linux kernel is available as a tar'd file from the following site:
http://www.ppckernel.org/tree.php?id=5
2. These kernels are in a constant state of change, as developers upload
revised versions.
3. The latest version is titled "BitKeeper  2.4 development".  This actually
contains  kernels targeted to a number of  processors in addition to the
440.
4. The tar'd file should be downloaded to a local machine then  untar'd,
which will in turn yield a set of directories for the  different kernel
targets.
5. Traverse to the 4xx directory, and therein will reside the necessary
source code.
6. In order to compile the software, I believe you will need the MontaVista
cross compiler. [ Do you have Montavist compiler, if not try "Embedded Linux
Development Kit" at www.denx.de]
7. In order to make the kernel,  If you just want to play with the _devel
tree then use your
 ppc_405- toolchain to build the kernel. Edit the top-level Makefile to say
"ARCH := ppc" and "CROSS_COMPILE := ppc_405-". [ If you don't have
"ppc_405-" tool set, set the appropriate compiler you hv]
make ebony_config
make oldconfig
make dep
make clean
make zImage
