Ok so I am getting the following error when I run this command:

export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/derek/Desktop/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-eabi

make: /opt/toolchains/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc: Command not found

Then when I run:

make -j5 CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=/home/derek/Desktop/initramfs

I get the following error :

make: /home/derek/Desktop/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-eabigcc: Command not found

It looks like you don't have gcc installed in your VM.
try to do this int terminal:
# sudo apt-get install gcc and hit enter.
It should install gcc.
After that try the export CROSS_COMPILE= again.
Hope this will work.

to the OP:

to make compile times shorter... and a bit easier I suggest making a build script...

Dir tree like this

-Initramfs
-Kernel
buildscript.sh

buildscript.sh something like this...

#!/bin/bash
CROSS_COMPILE="/home/chris41g/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-"
MKZIP='7z -mx9 -mmt=1 a "$OUTFILE" .'
THREADS=$(expr 1 + $(grep processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l))
P_DIR="/home/chris41g/android/LoStKernel"
SRC_BASE="$P_DIR/Kernel"
DST_BASE="initramfs/lib/modules"
CC_STRIP="/home/chris41g/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-strip"

COPY_WITH_ECHO()
{
	local SRC=$1
	local DST=$2
	echo "Copying $SRC to $DST_BASE/$DST"
	cp "$SRC_BASE/$SRC" "$P_DIR/$DST_BASE/$DST"
}
STRIP_WITH_ECHO()
{
	local DST=$1
	echo "Stripping $DST_BASE/$DST"
	$CC_STRIP -d --strip-unneeded "$P_DIR/$DST_BASE/$DST"
}

}

}

}

i wrote this while at work, so there may be some errors in it.. but the general idea is the same..

I would try it but I am rooted so I would like a rooted kernel with cwm. Either way thanks for this.

Now if you could show us how to root the kernel, add cwm / rogue recovery, and make it flashable in recovery, that would be epic..

rooting doesnt need to be done in the kernel.. the system can be rooted, and a lot of people suggest that..

as for adding the recovery, that requires quite a few changes to the initramfs. you can look at my github if you would like to..

http://github.com/chris41g

and to make it flashable it pretty easy as well, just take another flashable kernel zip and replace the zImage file with the one you made..

Cool thanks, I wasnt sure if both the kernel and system needed to be rooted. I already downloaded staedy hawkins initramfs file, which looks like there is his recovery in their.

Hope this will work.

Strangely, it said it was already installed but I reran and it worked.

Thank you so much. I asked about this a few days ago and noone responded.

I got the same error when doing step 4. Sudo make clean and got : /opt/toolchains/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc: Command not found

gcc is the latest version so not sure whats going on here...

I would just try the command agat posted earlier then try again.


HAHA Well I never thought I would be able to compile a kernel from source, very easy to follow guide.
