Contents of README.TXT:Since I should document this somewhere, here's the procedure for building the Slackware kernel package. I do not patch the official kernel sources, but it's not exactly a virgin either. ============================================================= Version specific notes (if any): ============================================================= For a 2.6.x kernel (much easier): Untar Linus' source in /usr/src. Make all files owned by root:root with reasonable perms. Install a suitable .config, or use make menuconfig, etc. An example would be to use one of the config files here: # cat config-smp-2.6.29.6-smp > /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.6/.config Then run the build programs: make oldconfig make bzImage make clean make prepare rm .version That's it! You now have a clean Slackware-configured Linux source tree. NOTE TO USERS OF THE NON SMP KERNELS: Sorry to shout. :-) By default, the kernel in Slackware supports SMP. With as common as multicore CPUs and SMP boards have become, this seemed like the obvious choice. The kernels are probably better for single CPU machines, too, if they will run them. If you have to use one of the non SMP kernels (huge.s or generic.s), then you will need to reconfigure your kernel sources to build any additional kernel modules. In order to compile outside kernel modules and such, you will need to build your kernel once with a non-SMP .config. The process is much the same: cat config-generic-2.6.29.6 > /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.6/.config make oldconfig make bzImage make clean make prepare rm .version At this point if you are running huge.s or generic.s, you should have no problems building kernel modules. Have fun! :-) Pat |
