Well, considering that the push for Sarge is to GCC v3.something.something, I would guess that it should be compiled with v3.3.x (possible newer versions when the freeze comes into play) So, I guess this is a moot point. So this proc works just fine for the 2.4 kernel! #!/bin/bash # # script assumes you are in the top dir of the # kernel source tree. I also assume you have any # patches you want installed, know how to edit a # script and have packages like nvidia, cloop and # alsa already installed. # # BTW, there is NO error checking in the script. # Therefore, onus is on you to make a good build. # Make it so make-kpkg patches the source PATCH_THE_KERNEL="YES" # Get do todays date and store it to a var. DATE="-`date +%Y%m%d`" # The Arch you are compiling for ARCH="-k7" # Which "revision" is this for today? REV=$1 # I hate the X based configs... slow and clunky # Also applies any patches at this time. make-kpkg --config menuconfig configure # Clean-up all the stuff (also removes any # patches applied) make-kpkg clean # Patches the source, re-builds the config, # deps and make vmlinuz and modules into a .deb make-kpkg --us --uc --initrd \ --append-to-version $DATE-$ARCH \ --revision $DATE$ARCH$REV kernel_image # Does all the additional modules like Alsa, Cloop # and nvidia all into .deb as well make-kpkg --us --uc \ --append-to-version $DATE-$ARCH \ --revision $DATE$ARCH$REV modules_image # Done. This script helps me every time. It did fail to link for a while, but that was known... as of 2.4.21 kpkg hasn't bombed on a build yet for me. Although sometimes I have problems when I forget to compile in EXT2/3 and/or ReiserFS... ouch... But it compiled JUST fine... -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net REMEMBER ED CURRY! http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry You are more beautiful than a bouquet of fossils.
