| Here's how to cross-build the kernel from the git repository. == Initial setup == Having ccache installed is optional but helpful if you are often rebuilding the package from scratch with minor modifications. {{{ sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf ccache git }}} Get the source {{{ git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/jani/ubuntu-nexus7.git }}} == Rebuild the package == Go to the source directory {{{ cd ubuntu-nexus7 }}} Remove leftover from previous builds or other cruft {{{ git clean -xdf }}} You need to do the following in order to disable cross-building of the linux-tools binary package, as that requires multiarch setup and some armhf libs installed in the host system. {{{ sed -i '/do_tools/ s/true/false/' debian.linaro/rules.d/armhf.mk }}} Calling fakeroot debian/rules (fdr) clean is necessary before each build. Note: Most people working with the kernel package add an alias of the fakeroot debian/rules command to fdr. {{{ fakeroot debian/rules clean }}} Next we create the package, and depending on your system speed, ccache and on the kernel configurations that are enabled it can take anywhere between 3 minutes and a couple of hours :) {{{ debuild -eDEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="parallel=3" -eCROSS_COMPILE="ccache arm-linux-gnueabihf-" -b -aarmhf -us -uc -nc }}} == Build zImage only == Sometimes you just want a zImage for a quick test such as inserting it in a boot.img and trying it out without a full deb installation. This does an out of source tree build of a zImage (no modules) using the current Ubuntu configs. Faster than a full package build. {{{ cd ubuntu-nexus7 mkdir ../build cp debian.linaro/config/config.common.ubuntu ../build/.config CROSS_COMPILE="ccache arm-linux-gnueabihf-" ARCH=arm make O=../build -j 8 zImage }}} In the above snippets -j and parallel= are obviously to be adjusted depending on need. |
