Thus I think your testcases aren't valid, Well, my current build script is: #!/bin/sh # YOu need to have one of the following unremmed to avoid a # dpkg-gencontrol error: export KBUILD_DEBARCH=armhf # Unrem this for armhf #export DEB_HOST_ARCH=armel # Or this for armel exec make ARCH=arm KBUILD_IMAGE=uImage deb-pkg "$@" Clearly on my build toolchain I must set DEB_HOST_ARCH in some cases. So DEB_ variables are already in there. Without it it will give me an error for trying to build > and also you neglected the following one: > make KBUILD_DEBARCH=i386 deb-pkg # i386 userland with amd64 linux I'm not sure I follow. If the packagees are to be installed on a i386 system, they are all to be considered i386, right? The linux-image package as well. The same as http://packages.debian.org/sid/linux-image-amd64 (the i386 variant). Setting KBUILD_DEBARCH does not change the building of the files in any way. It only changes the package's metadata. Maybe set DEB_HOST_ARCH from KBUILD_DEBARCH if the latter was set? -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen@xxxxxxxxxx +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/tzafrir -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
