Zaurus kernel.

[Joshp]

OK, I want to start playing around with bulinding kernels for the zaurus.  I am assuming that al need a cross complier setup.  Where would find something that
I coulde get running under slackware 9.1.

I think ceds howto is the best starting place

I found the howto but now where do i download the sl-5500 kernel source.

i would like to have the iptables and wireless extension enabled for sharp 2.38 or 3.13, if I cross compile the kernel and modules, mix them with sharp rom, and flash the rom, will it work?

[Joshp]

If you cross complie Sharps kernel it should work.  Just make sure that you use the right kernel version.  I think the 2.38 rom is 2.4.6 and 3.13  rom is 2.4.18.  You will also need to backup your sd card module as there is no source for it.
And on a side note am no kernel expert am just going on what have read and seen with my Z, and what I have done with differnt kernels on my computers.
Good luck.

P.S. There is a ipk for iptables both for the bin and for the modules.

Ok I have cross complieing working but every time I go to complie the kernel I get:

/bin/sh: line 1: scripts/mkdep: cannot execute binary file.  

I think I know what couse this but I don\'t know how to fix it.  I think what happens is that mkdep.c gets compiled as an arm program.  As well as ever other *.c unde the scripts dir.  Any ideas.

Delete the (arm) binary, copy the command across into a clean terminal window (without anything sourced for the cross-compiler), create the binary, run make again.

However there must be other ways (for example in OE I don\'t have to do this), so it\'s probably possible to set native_gcc and cross_gcc or something similar and it will sort itself out.
