Development For Cacko 1.22a

[cjiph]

Hi.

So my quest to get my crappy prism3 based wireless card working in the latest version of cacko continues (see my earlier post). It seems the best way for me to proceed to is to get the latest version of the hostap or wlan-ng drivers compiled into the kernel and the resepective userspace utilities installed.

I managed to apply most of the 1.22 kernel patches from the new cacko website to the sharp kernel sources linked to on the Japanese site. There were some discrepencies but they seem mostly irrlevant and/or because I don't have version 0.2.4 of the hostap drivers unpacked into the root of the kernel source (?).

But while I might be able to build the kernel okay using any old arm5 cross compiler (I have the one from the pdaxrom sdk lying around), I don't know how to build userspace applications to target the new 1.22 cacko ROM with all its various uptodate libraries etc. Please can someone give me some pointers...

Also once I've built stuff for userspace is there some clean way to go from make install -> ipk ?

Thanks,

Further to my last post I realise that actually I can't build the kernel at all with the patches applied, it's completely broken right from the words make bzImage (am I even supposed to be doing make bzImage for the Zaurus?).

So if possible I would also appreciate a diff from the kernel.org vesion of 2.4.18 to whichever version Cacko 1.22 uses. Some hints on which commands to run to build the kernel woul also be appreciated.

Thanks,
