I am using Lenny (amd64) on my AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor "host" machine. Here is the arch info for this machine: debian64:~# dpkg-architecture DEB_BUILD_ARCH=amd64 DEB_BUILD_ARCH_OS=linux DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU=amd64 DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=x86_64 DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=x86_64-linux-gnu DEB_HOST_ARCH=amd64 DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS=linux DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU=amd64 DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=x86_64 DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=x86_64-linux-gnu debian:/usr/src/
Now I would like to compile a 32-bit kernel (i386) for my Intel "target" machine on my above 64-bit host machine. Here is the architecture is for my target machine: debian32:~# dpkg-architecture DEB_BUILD_ARCH=i386 DEB_BUILD_ARCH_OS=linux DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU=i386 DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=i486 DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=i486-linux-gnu DEB_HOST_ARCH=i386 DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS=linux DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU=i386 DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=i486 DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=i486-linux-gnu debian32:~# I would like to build kernels using make-kpkg i.e. Debian way. What is the best way to do this? So far I have tried: # linux32 # CROSS_COMPILE=i486-linux-gnu fakeroot make-kpkg --cross-compile - -arch i386 --append-to-version=-32bit kernel_image but it gives me the following error mesasge: dpkg-gencontrol: error: current host architecture 'amd64' does not appear in package's architecture list (i386) Somebody suggested me to use the compile flag "-m32" but I am not sure where to add this and how to tell make-kpkg to see it. I would like to know if anybody in this list knows how to compile a 32-bit (i386) kernel on a 64-bit (amd64) OS. I am guessing it should not be that hard.
