I ran #make ARCh=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mipsel-linux- clean this removed vmlinux.lds and then I again ran make by #make ARCh=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mipsel-linux- but again same error. could there be something wrong in vmlinux.lds.S that vmlinux.lds is not being generated properly Mudeem -----Original Message----- From: Thiemo Seufer [mailto:ica2_ts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 2:09 PM To: Mudeem Iqbal Cc: 'linux-mips@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: Re: mipsel-linux-ld:arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds:6: parse error Mudeem Iqbal wrote: > hi, > > I have built a toolchain using the following combination > > binutils-2.15.94.0.2 > gcc-3.4.3 > glibc-2.3.3 > linux-2.6.9 (from linux-mips.org) > > I am cross compiling linux kernel for mips.
