Hi. I am newbie at GNU/linux.
I am trying to build a kernel (2.6.12) for a powerpc target using cygwin on my i686 machine. I have Windows 2000 as my operating system.
I have recent versions of cygwin (with GNU make 3.80), binutils for the powerpc (gcc v 3.3.1, ld v 2.14)
I set ARCH=ppc CROSS_COMPILE= powerpc-ibm-eabi-
and I add the cross compiler/build directory to my path.
After untaring the kernel, I issue the make mrproper, which appears to work.
Then I issue make menuconfig
and I get the following error, which I can't seem to get around:
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep fixdep: no such file or directory make[1]:*** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 2 make[1] Leaving directory /cygdrive/c/Linux_amcc/linux-2.6.12
Can you suggest what the problem might be? Should I be able to build the kernel with cygwin?
