There are far better ways to cross-compile the Linux kernel. I built a Cross Linux From Scratch system under Cygwin earlier this year. I just got back from vacation, though. Give me a day or so, and I'll find my notes on it. I believe most of them have already been posted here in the past, however.On Jun 17 17:24, Fedin Pavel wrote:Hello! In order to cross-compile Linux kernel i have to patch host-side tools a little bit. Current problems are: 1. Cygwin misses linux/types.h 2. Cygwin defines the following ELF macros according to host machine: ELF_ST_BIND, ELF_ST_TYPE, ELF_R_SYM, ELF_R_TYPE What about improving Linux compatibility ? We could have own version of linux/types.h (for __u8. __u16, etc), and omit ELF definitions. AFAIK they are not used anywhere, they are just inherited from BSD. At the other hand, i believe the same problem will happen if i try to cross-compile Linux kernel under BSD. And Cygwin is BSD-style system...I have no opinion on the ELF definition issue, but just adding a linux system header looks pretty wrong to me. Corinna
