[resolved]integrate My "make Dep" 'd Kernel Source

Hm. I would assume you should provide some more information:

* on which host are you building?
* which version of which kernel?
* which cross-compiler?
* which 'make'?

etc.

ok, have this kernel source: https://www.oesf.org/howto/downloads/linux-...0020910.tar.bz2 ala https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Compiling_the_Kernel

i used the cross sdk (arm-linux-gcc from cross-sdk-arm-cacko-linux-gnu-3.4.5-2.2.5-softfloat.tar.bz2  on my "big" pc to issue "make menuconfig' , then loaded the 5500 config, and issued "make dep'

now i want it on my z so that the make in bestcrypt can find/use it to build its modules (it doesnt have a config)...

ok i worked that one out :

for 2.4.x kernel

just symlink  /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/build to the location of your kernel-source's "root" 'linux' directory .

ps if you get to the part in your module build and it says it cant find modversions.h as i did,

you need to go back and recompile your kernel enabling module version support options

now when you issue make dep it will make this file

just  a quick update, the version you need most likely is 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix (linux-sl5500-20030509-rom3_10.tar.bz2)

rather than 2.4.6-rmk1-np2-embedix (linux-sl5500-20020910.tar.bz2)
