hmmm, i had a feeling something might be 'going down' with that host as had been having trouble signing up for new account for another idea, but had no luck, didnt check my site though...
and yes , sure enough its down... have to look into that ...
ok, now you mention you want to set up a hardfloat compiler to do the kernel. im not sure at all if it makes any difference if you compile a kernel with what version, but heres my summary and script for getting the 2.95.3 fpa hardfloat cross compiler available from the handhelds.org site i mentioned.
you can get a 2.95.3 hard float fpa crosscompiler from here:
http://www.handhelds.org/download/projects...lchain/archive/put it in /usr/local/arm/ (ie /usr/local/arm/2.95.3/...)
and init your self or use my script attached
and here's a reference site:
http://www.mnementh.co.uk/arm26linux/doc/crosscompile.htmlno to compile your kernel with it i did the following , unpack your kernel source wherever* ,
linux-sl5500-20030509-rom3_10.tar.bz2 (2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix or better)
cd to the intial linux directory or it, and issue
# make mrproper
# make xconfig
once inside xconfig (or menuconfig if you prefer), load the config arc/arm/def-configs/sl5500 (or ...),
then i enable all options in "Loadable Module Support" section (there are three),
save and exit, then proceed...
(note for the coming "make dep" step: i cant quite remember if i had issues wih my startup script being too much for the kenel compile env, and you might only need to add the /usr/local/arm/2.95.3/bin to your current $PATH and no more so it can access the 2.95.3 arm-linux-gcc... (but dont think the script is useless as i use it successfully to cross compile glibc a few times)
then this to make missing header:
# make include/linux/version.h
then
# make dep
this ("builds"/"configures" it)
after this finishes good , copy to target, and symlink to /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/build to the linux directory
hope this helps
