Cross Compile Problem

Hello All;

I am attempting to compile a kernel image with RAID support and I have received the following error

When I run “./build_kernel.sh”

Should I just remove the offending line ??

Your using "ti-linux-kernel-dev", just rebase the branch, as i fixed
this late last week.

That commit went upstream in ti's 3.14 base we use.

Pardon my ignorance Robert, but I'm not sure what you mean by "rebase the branch" ?

git commit -a -m 'xyz' -s
git pull --rebase

or just:

git checkout master -f
git branch -D tmp
git pull
git checkout origin/<xyz> -b tmp

git commit -a -m 'xyz' -s
git pull --rebase

I think this is a little more complicated. I¹m guessing William is on the
tmp branch, but since the he probably hasn¹t setup the tmp branch to track
the origin/<xyz> branch, he will get an error. If he did setup the tmp
branch to track origin/<xyz> branch, then he would retain all his kernel
changes after updating his repo.

or just:

git checkout master -f
git branch -D tmp
git pull
git checkout origin/<xyz> -b tmp

In this case William will loose all his kernel changes.

At least I think this is how it works.

John

Thanks for all the help guys.
I don't mind if I have to start over from scratch.
Just so long as I end up with a Kernel with RAID support.

I am cross-compiling on a quad core i7 laptop, so no worries about
how long it takes. Just so long as I end up with a working image I can copy to
a uSD card.

Thanks again ...

Yeah, but I think what Robert was showing you is that GIT is your friend
and is extremely powerful. I highly recommend that you take the time to
learn GIT because it will save you so much time. It also helps organize
your development process.

Thanks John, good advice and definitely on the to-do list.
Getting this book out is like passing a kidney stone :slight_smile:
(Done both!)

Later;
