Re: [coLinux-users] Rolling your own kernel

[Paolo M. <pao...@gm...>]

Hi,
My advice is to use the stable-xxxxxx.tar.gz source code.
use

>./configure
> make

This will compile compilers, kernel and colinux form source.
This process don't touch your linux distro. You can use it.

At the end of this process you will find a directory "../build".
In this directory there are linux-xxx-source and linux-xxx-build
You have to apply patch to the linux-xxx-source tree.
This is kernel patched with colinux drivers.
Now apply your patch to this tree (linux-xxx-source)

When this is done, you can compile using
>make

in the linux-xxx-build directory.

If you need to change the .config copy your .conf in the
linux-xxx-build directory.

I hope this is OK. I do it. If something is wrong ....


Bye,
Paolo
