Compilation of Kernel for Android fails

[yippieh]

Hallo,

I want to pay a big compliment to all who try to bring android to the HTC devices and hope you can help me, to complie the Kernel on my on.
Following the instructions on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BuildTheKaiserKernel I get an error when compiling. The output is:

My configuration is Kubuntu 8.10 running on a Pentium M.

No need to open a new thread.
Polaris Android Linux Kernel Development Project (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452108)

To answer your question:
I think the htc-vogue branch is broken at the moment - because we're running into the same error.

Thanks for the reply. I already found this answer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3331331&postcount=3290, however it didn't work for me. I already tried to compile one week ago and it didn't work. I can't imagine that the branch is broken such a long time. Anyway, I hope we can make it run :)

I opened a new thread, because "Polaris Android Linux Kernel Development Project" seems quite messed up as any information related to this project is posted there and I find difficult/impossible to read the whole thread. Maybe, an own category should be created, where all the "Project-" related issues can be posted in own threads...

Found the solution to this problem: Use arm-2008q3 (http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/package3696/public/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/arm-2008q3-72-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2) instead of 2008q1.

Please post your changes to the other thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452108).

So what are you working on?

If I read the code right - I think wlan stuff is atm only available for Kaiser (progress being made but not fully functional) - it shouldn't be a huge problem to port it to Polaris (different gpio's?).

The bluetooth stuff should also be fairly easy (at least afair) - but thats only built-in for Nike atm (and also not working).

Wired Headset also "only" needs to be ported from Vogue.

Battery and Leds are also working on Kaiser but not Polaris.
Same goes for powering down the different screens and touchscreen improvements.

If you're interested in working on any of these issues - I can probably assist you in getting it done (best contact me throug PC or IM).
