First get the defconfig:
ls -l ./arch/arm/configs[/code]-t0_04_defconfig
So,
cp arch/arm/configs/t0_04_defconfig ./.config[/code]Once that's done, execute:
make oldconfig
Now a new .config file is written to kernel root
Now you can execute a make, only to find that it errors out soon. The reason is of course a "-Werror" parameter in the main Makefile, which you can see if you do a:
grep -i -n '-Werror' Makefile[/code]So, edit the file in emacs, and remove the -Werror
It didnt still build and gave an error of the compiler not supporting arm
So downloaded the latest NDK android-ndk-r8c
wget http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r8c-linux-x86.tar.bz2
Added the toolchain to $PATH, chose the toolchain, and hey presto! The kernel compiled without any errors! :D :D
