# 22:18:57 fahita hi there, can someone point me to docs related to using custom kernels with ct-ng? or help me
# 22:19:17 fahita i've been using a tarball from kernel.org, but it fails on the rule 'headers_install'
# 22:19:48 fahita here is the part from build.log: http://pastebin.com/cNV9Y43q
# 22:41:42 y_morin fahita: what version of the kernel are you using?
# 22:43:00 fahita 2.6.0
# 22:43:46 y_morin fahita: that's too old.
# 22:43:58 y_morin fahita: headers_isntall came in circa 2.6.18.
# 22:44:07 fahita oh ok
# 22:44:18 y_morin fahita: any specific reason you want 2.6.0 ?
# 22:44:25 y_morin It's pretty old, now...
# 22:45:14 y_morin From ftp.kernel.org: ChangeLog-2.6.0 18-Dec-2003 03:04 12K
# 22:45:33 fahita no, just that I needed something <= 2.6.15
# 22:45:33 y_morin Geez... Time passes fast... :-/
# 22:46:15 y_morin fahita: even 2.6.15 is 6 years old... You won't get away with such old version.
# 22:46:31 y_morin fahita: OTOH, what C library are you using?
# 22:47:00 fahita uclibc
# 22:47:28 fahita I get "fatal kernel too old" on the target system with 2.6.38 configured in ct-ng atm
# 22:47:34 y_morin fahita: Ah, OK. If you were using glibc/eglibc, then you could use more recent kernel headers, and tell glibc/eglibc to include legay support
# 22:48:08 y_morin fahita: the kernel on the target is 2.6.38 ?
# 22:48:44 fahita no, it's 2.6.15, but I configured with 2.6.38 before noticing it was older
# 22:50:05 y_morin fahita: OK. 2.6.15 is way too old by today's standards, crosstool-NG does not support this.
# 22:50:16 y_morin fahita: BUT! There could be an alternative...
# 22:50:27 y_morin fumbles his docs...
# 22:50:40 fahita heh
# 22:52:12 y_morin fahita: enable the 'OBSOLETE' support (in "Paths and misc options"), then back to the kernel menu, select: "Use pre-installed headers tree (OBSOLETE)"
# 22:53:00 y_morin fahita: then enter the path to already existing kernel headers. For these you can use the sanitised headers from: http://ep09.pld-linux.org/~mmazur/linux-libc-headers/
# 22:53:33 y_morin fahita: this is an obsolete setup. You should really try to upgrade your kernel.
# 22:58:25 fahita thank you y_morin, going to test that out. Yeah I see I should instead try to upgrade the target maybe.
# 23:43:48 y_morin quits : Quit: Night!
# 23:55:45 smartin quits
# 23:57:21 fahita quits : Quit: ;
