Disclaimer: This is my first attempt to recompile the linux-mips kernel so these are probably just newbie problems. I sync'd with git clone rsync://ftp.linux-mips.org/git/linux.git linux.git 2 days ago. I downloaded and installed sde: ftp://ftp.mips.com/pub/tools/software/sde-for-linux/6.02.03-1/mipsel-sdelinux-v6.02.03-1.i386.rpm I'm building for a Malta eval board. I'm trying to compile in oprofile support. I execute the following sequence: 1. Copy the default malta config file to .config 2. run make xconfig and add oprofile support 3. make clean 4. make vmlinux.srec I get a few warnings: kernel/pid.c: In function `pidhash_init': kernel/pid.c:260: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast CC kernel/rcupdate.o CC kernel/intermodule.o kernel/intermodule.c:178: warning: `inter_module_register' is deprecated (declared at kernel/intermodule.c:38) kernel/intermodule.c:179: warning: `inter_module_unregister' is deprecated (declared at kernel/intermodule.c:78) kernel/intermodule.c:181: warning: `inter_module_put' is deprecated (declared at kernel/intermodule.c:159) ...but the one that kills me is: mm/msync.o: In function `msync_interval': msync.c:(.text+0x10c): unmatched HI16 relocation mipsel-linux-ld: final link failed: Bad value make[1]: *** [mm/built-in.o] Error 1 make: *** [mm] Error 2 Would someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm pretty sure people wouldn't be checking in code that doesn't even build! Thanks, Kurt Schwemmer
