 Posted: Sun Feb 13, 2022 4:05 am Post subject: unable to compile a non-gentoo kernel |
 |
|
Hello everyone, I'm trying to install gentoo to my galaxy note3 mobile phone.
I have downloaded a stage 3 and setup my chroot, instead of downloading gentoo sources and having to go through all sorts of hell trying to find the kernel patches from samsung ...etc I chose to downlaod a note3 kernel from the internet:
https://github.com/flashka07/android_kernel_samsung_ha3g
this is a very old kerenl version(3.4) that requires gcc4 or 3:
| Code: | localhost /root/kernel/android_kernel_samsung_ha3g/include/linux # ls *gcc*
compiler-gcc.h compiler-gcc3.h compiler-gcc4.h |
so i created a symbolic link in this directory called compiler-gcc11.h and had it point to compiler-gcc.h
I can begin the compilation process but it's not long before I get:
| Code: | localhost /root/kernel/android_kernel_samsung_ha3g # make -j4
CHK include/linux/version.h
CC scripts/mod/empty.o
MKELF scripts/mod/elfconfig.h
HOSTCC scripts/mod/file2alias.o
HOSTCC scripts/mod/modpost.o
HOSTCC scripts/mod/sumversion.o
CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h
make[1]: 'include/generated/mach-types.h' is up to date.
CC kernel/bounds.s

Have you tried building that kernel with the unmodified files? include/linux/compiler-gcc3.h and include/linux/compiler-gcc4.h only contain less than / greater than [or equal to] GCC version comparisons. I wouldn't touch them unless you are getting an actual build failure which these files are directly responsible of. |

What did you link to what? Don't do that. Looking at the Git repository, none of the compiler*.h files is a symlink. |

I used to set compiler-gcc11.h as a symbolic link to compiler-gcc.h, can't even remember why i did that.
I removed the symbolic link anyway and I'm getting the same error |

| Is include/linux/compiler.h (without -gcc ) a symlink? Can you post the output of ls -l /root/kernel/android_kernel_samsung_ha3g/include/linux/compiler*? |
