trying to build linux kernel deb for linux-rt-devel-4.16.18-rt9
but I'm hitting a missing tools problem.
make uImage bails out looking for mkimage, which doesn't seem to be in
the repos. I googled for it, and downloaded tool-master.zip, but its
apparently cross-compiling stuff to be run on x86. Only two Makefiles
in a 907 meg when unpacked .zip from github. It contains a mkimage
directory but no Makefile to build it. Its apparently a python thing as
shown here:
pi@picnc:/media/pi/workpi1/tools-master/mkimage $ ls -l
total 48
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 157 Jan 12 2018 args-uncompressed.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 201 Jan 12 2018 boot-uncompressed.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 32768 Jan 12 2018 first32k.bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 822 Jan 12 2018 imagetool-uncompressed.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 343 Jan 12 2018 README
pi@picnc:/media/pi/workpi1/tools-master/mkimage $ python imagetool-uncompressed.py
usage : imagetool-uncompressed.py <kernel image>
pi@picnc:/media/pi/workpi1/tools-master/mkimage $
Am I supposed to setup an alias to run that "in place" or what?
Where do I find and install that on an rpi-3b running raspian stretch, uptodate?
Or better yet, your version of stretch for an rpi-3b that includes armhf
versions of all these tools in "build-essential"?
Cheers, Gene Heskett
