I read in Karim Yaghmour's book that to cross compile the kernel and other packages I need these two arguments. But when I see other kernel cross compiling guide they only say to use the ARCH=arm. so.. do I need both of them ? or just the ARCH one ?
ARCH is certainly required, because it will select the approprieate directory to compile from arch/* and headers to include from include/asm-*. CROSS_COMPILE may not be needed if you have the default cross compiler for the architecture (arm-linux-gcc?) in your PATH. However, if that is not the case, or you have multiple versions cross compilers installed, it is recommened that you give CROSS_COMPILE= Thanks, Rajat -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
