FWIW, I've just built a linux kernel on my cygwin system using a ppc cross compiler. Here's roughly what I did (this is not verbatim what I did but it should serve as a rough guide): c:\>c:\cygwin\bin\bash bash$ export PATH=/bin:$PATH bash$ cd /tmp bash$ wget http://cygwin.com/snapshots/cygwin-inst-20050826.tar.bz2 bash$ wget http://cygwin.com/snapshots/cygwin1-20050826.dll.bz2 bash$ wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.12.tar.bz2 bash$ bzip2 -d cygwin1-20050826.dll.bz2 bash$ cd / bash$ # expect some errors about being unable to overwrite bash$ # cygwin1.dll below bash$ tar xjf /tmp/cygwin-inst-20050826.tar.bz2 bash$ # exit from the running cygwin process so that the cygwin DLL can bash$ # be overwritten bash$ exit c:\>copy c:\cygwin\tmp\cygwin1-20050826.dll c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll c:\>c:\cygwin\bin\bash bash$ export PATH=/bin:/path-to-cross/compiler:$PATH bash$ mkdir /cygdrive/c/managed /managed bash$ mount -b -o managed c:/managed /managed bash$ cd /managed bash$ tar xjf /tmp/linux-2.6.12.tar.bz2 bash$ cd linux-2.6.12 bash$ make ARCH=ppc HOST_LOADLIBES=-lintl defconfig bash$ make ARCH=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc-linux- Note that I have recently added the elf.h header files to cygwin so this should allow the kernel to be built without any addition steps. But, you need to download a cygwin snapshot to get this because the headers aren't part of the latest version of cygwin yet. You also need to specify HOST_LOADLIBES on the command line because it's required for cygwin. Using a "managed" mount also allows the creation of files with mixed case. I haven't yet checked that the kernel produced from these steps works but the make does seem to complete without error. cgf -- Christopher Faylor spammer? -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cygwin Co-Project Leader [EMAIL PROTECTED] TimeSys, Inc. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
