**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Feb 21 02:59:59 2013 Feb 21 03:07:55 anunnaki: try: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/arm4-softfloat- Feb 21 03:23:08 hmm figuring out the path to armv4-softfloat-linux-gnueabi-gcc ? Feb 21 05:15:52 now im getting Makefile:1442: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. stop Feb 21 05:15:59 i guess something isnt right Feb 21 05:23:20 the line 1442 is under "#Modules" " / %/: prepare scripts FORCE" Feb 21 07:10:05 anunnaki: before you compile you need to have a config file or configure everything. check in arch/arm/configs and see if there is a default for your board. then you can run make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/arm4-softfloat- YOURBOARDNAME_defconfig Feb 21 07:12:30 mozzwald, the config where it says stuff like arm=y... i have it. its saved as .config in root of the tree Feb 21 07:14:58 so what exactly would my board name be? its atmel arm 920T PXA27x Bulverde Feb 21 07:15:07 processor Feb 21 07:15:38 someone else told me that same thing but didnt tell me anything else about the last part of that command.. Feb 21 07:16:58 if you already have a config then you don't have to use a default config (someone did that for you). Feb 21 07:17:17 did you find the proper path to your cross compiler? Feb 21 07:18:12 yea, the config came with inside the tarball with the kernel or patches. i cant remember which. Feb 21 07:18:22 i tried e-file but that didnt help Feb 21 07:18:48 so not the proper path.. theres similar directories in /usr but also in /usr/bin Feb 21 07:19:20 where did you get your cross compiler? Feb 21 07:23:00 from the repository on my system, portage Feb 21 07:23:53 gentoo os? Feb 21 07:24:08 yeah Feb 21 07:25:17 ok. then it's probably already in your PATH so try: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=armv4-softfloat-linux-gnueabi- Feb 21 07:25:26 i tested it by making a helloworld.c file. then did file helloworld. and it said it was an arm file Feb 21 07:26:22 yeah i did and http://pastebin.com/ZTDvs8BQ Feb 21 07:26:45 thats where im at now. i opened up the makefile line 1442.. Feb 21 07:30:15 http://pastebin.com/kNiENTET Feb 21 07:30:27 thats the command and what was returned Feb 21 07:30:50 and opening up Makefile to check out line 1442 Feb 21 07:31:16 anunnaki: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/error-mixed-implicit-and-normal-rules-while-trying-to-build-busybox-826795/ Feb 21 07:35:19 where would that be at.. makefile? Feb 21 07:37:16 so i have to find this and split the rule into two separate commands Feb 21 07:38:11 %config or something like that i guess Feb 21 07:38:12 should be in the makefile. I'm not sure if this will work, I just did a quick google search. what is line 1442? Feb 21 07:38:27 i found that before too. or something similar Feb 21 07:39:14 found it Feb 21 07:42:02 anunnaki: what device is this? Feb 21 07:43:33 $(Q)mkdir -p include/linux include/config Feb 21 07:43:33 $(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=scripts/kconfig $@ Feb 21 07:43:59 i wonder if i have to include the mkdir command the second time too. i left it out. and just repeated the make command Feb 21 07:44:27 motorola Q. Feb 21 07:44:30 old school Feb 21 07:46:02 first i need to get this image. then work on bootloader and look into machine file and some other stuff if it doesnt flash right Feb 21 07:48:15 has anyone else been able to get linux to boot on moto q? Feb 21 07:55:24 you probably need a bootloader before the kernel. it appears the device runs windows mobile of some sort. you'll need a bootloader to start the kernel Feb 21 08:16:52 yeah someone else said i might need one and to looking into machine files Feb 21 08:18:01 to make sure there is no lock on the boot or something liek that. but i heard someone got linux on it so just have to find correct app to flash it and whatever to prep it for flashing **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Feb 22 02:59:58 2013
