Enable ccache for kernel compile

2011-02-01T19:51:15+00:00

Just needed to pass in ccache as a prefix to the CROSS_TARGET variable. Signed-off-by: Martin Hicks Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

linux: add 2.6.37, remove 2.6.36

linux: fix linux- aliases

2010-12-27T21:50:18+00:00

The generic linux-% alias conflicts with the linux-fusion package, so add explicit aliases instead. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

linux: don't force IPv6 configuration in kernel

2010-12-22T21:19:30+00:00

As per the discussion at http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2010-December/040030.html, remove the bits that forced the IPv6 configuration in the kernel depending on the toolchain ability to support (or not) IPv6. You may have a toolchain with IPv6 support but still don't want to have IPv6 in your kernel. The only parameters we adjust in the kernel configuration are: * ARM EABI, since we got a lot of bug reports regarding misconfigured kernel compared to the ABI used by userspace applications. * initramfs, since its contents are generated by Buildroot itself Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

linux: fix linux-% shortcut targets

2010-12-19T20:16:37+00:00

linux-% shortcut targets (short for linux26-%) ignores the ouput dir $(O) so that 'make O=output.arm linux-menuconfig' is actually run in the default $(O) directory output/ and not in output.arm/. Fix by passing on $(O) if set. [Peter: Use EXTRAMAKEARGS] Signed-off-by: Bjørn Forsman Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

linux: support 'make linux26-nconfig'

linux: add KERNEL_ARCH_PATH to fix x86-specific issue

2010-12-17T16:00:18+00:00

Both i386 and x86_64 architectures are supported by the arch/x86 directory in the kernel. So, when we copy the kernel configuration file to arch/$(KERNEL_ARCH)/configs/, it does not work because arch/i386 and arch/x86_64 do not exist. So, we introduce KERNEL_ARCH_PATH, which is the path to the architecture specific directory in the kernel source tree. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

linux: add support for ELF vmlinux image

2010-12-17T15:53:18+00:00

The ELF vmlinux image found at the root of the kernel source tree is the format that Qemu needs when emulating mips(el) or ppc targets, so add support for it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

linux: support a space-separated list of patches

2010-12-16T21:30:18+00:00

The kernel being a component that often needs a fairly important set of changes to be adapted to a particular hardware platform, having maximum flexibility on the patching process is a nice thing. Therefore, as per the discussions from the Buildroot Developer Day, we add a mechanism to apply a list of patches (that could come either from URLs, local files or local directories).
