! Title:Compiling and installing the Dreamcast Linux kernel
! Section: Development Section
! 
! 
! <h4>Getting the sources from CVS</h4>
! 
! The kernel sources are easiest obtainable from our anonymous CVS
! hosted at sourceforge.net. Simply do:
! 
! <pre>cvs -z9 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/linuxdc login</pre>
! 
! Hit enter when asked for password.
! 
! <pre>cvs -z9 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/linuxdc co linux</pre>
! 
! <p>Wait for a good while. The source tree is about 120MB, and packed
! on-demand it is probably somewhere around 25MBs to get over the
! line.</p>
! 
! 
! <h4>Configuring the kernel</h4>
! 
! <p>Once the tree is down, copy this <a href="dotconfig">.config file</a>
! as a starting point for your compilation. Put it in the 'linux'
! directory and name it '.config'.</p>
! 
! <p>Run 'make menuconfig' then exit and save so that the correct
! symlinks and such are created. There's not anything you should
! alter in the configuarion for now since all DCs are pretty much alike,
! and we don't support the BBA yet</p>
! 
! 
! <h4>Compiling the sources</h4>
! 
! <p>If you have your tools in the path, do:</p>
! 
! <pre>make CROSS_COMPILE=sh-linux-gnu- dep zImage</pre>
! 
! <p>If not, do, but replace [path-to-tools] with something
! sensible:</p>
! 
! <pre>make CROSS_COMPILE=[path-to-tools]/sh-linux-gnu- dep zImage</pre>
! 
! 
! <h4>Setting kernel boot parameters</h4>
! 
! The <a href="options">default options file</a> enables the DC
! framebuffer (that is the DC video/VGA output) as the console. You
! might want to have the output to serial instead, if so, add
! 'console=ttySC1,57600' to the options file.
! 
! You should make certain that the final character in the options file
! is a zero byte. This is easiest done by insuring that you have a
! newline at the end of the options file, then issue this command:
! <pre>tr '\n' '\0' < options > options.bin</pre>
! 
! To verify, less options.bin and look for a ^@ character at the very
! end of the file.
! 
! <h4>Uploading the kernel to DC</h4>
! 
! To ease the drudgery here, use this <a href="Makefile.dcload">uploading
! makefile</a> that takes the necessary steps and puts the correct files
! at the correct memory addresses.
! 
! Edit the first few lines in the Makefile to point to your tools.
! 
! Make certain that options.bin and zImage (from linux/arch/sh/boot/zImage)
! are in the directory you run the Makefile from.
! 
! Before running make, you must boot the DC with the dcload CD
! image. Once it has loaded properly, do:
! 
! <pre>make</pre>
! 
! and wait for the two files to upload. The kernel will be executed once
! it's uploaded.
! 
! <h4>Conclusion</h4>
! 
! We hope this installation was just as easy as installing a new printer
! filter in your favourite Unix distro. It was certainly our aim.
! 
! As the linuxdc kernel and tools stabilise, we'll be looking into
! providing packages and scripts that take on much of the dreary stuff
! in this HOWTO, but until then you have to sit tight.
