it's early and i'm out of coffee so this might be a dumb question but i want to clarify the set of steps to prep a pristine kernel source tree outside of the actual source against which to cross compile a module. the setup: KERNELSRCDIR=<location of pristine 2.6.10 source tree> KERNELBUILDDIR=<where i want the prepped results to go> ARCH=m68k CROSS_COMPILE=m68k-linux-gnu- /tmp/config (the m68k-specific config file to use) does the following look sane? $ rm -rf ${KERNELBUILDDIR} # start clean $ mkdir ${KERNELBUILDDIR} $ cp /tmp/config ${KERNELBUILDDIR}/.config $ make -C ${KERNELSRCDIR} O=${KERNELBUILDDIR} ARCH=m68k CROSS_COMPILE=m68k-linux-gnu oldconfig $ make -C ${KERNELBUILDDIR} ARCH=m68k CROSS_COMPILE=m68k-linux-gnu- modules_prepare i *think* that's all i need to get a build directory against which i can cross-compile modules. thoughts? can i tighten up that set of steps at all. i'm wondering if the "oldconfig" step needs to be told both of ARCH= and CROSS_COMPILE=. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
