Just changing the variables is not enough. You must first compile yourself a cross-compiler and cross-binary-utils for a PPC target: http://people.debian.org/~debacle/cross.html Once this is done, you can use: $ CC=/usr/bin/powerpc-linux-gcc make-kpkg --config menuconfig --revision mykernel.1 kernel_image I hope this helps. -- Martin-Éric Racine, ICT Consultant http://www.iki.fi/q-funk/
