error while compiling linux kernel 2.6 V
 

hi all,

i am trying to compile linux kernel 2.6.26.3 and port it on ARM processor..while executing the "make" command i got the follwing error messages:

CHK include/linux/compile.h
CC [M] drivers/net/b44.o
drivers/net/b44.c: In function `b44_sync_dma_desc_for_device':
drivers/net/b44.c:151: error: implicit declaration of function `dma_sync_single_range_for_device'
drivers/net/b44.c: In function `b44_sync_dma_desc_for_cpu':
drivers/net/b44.c:161: error: implicit declaration of function `dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu'
make[2]: *** [drivers/net/b44.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [drivers/net] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2


plz help me to rectify my error.

1. Did you set up a cross-compiler to build for ARM, and did you test it to make sure it compiles and links?
2. Did you set the CC variable so that the build scripts invoke the cross-compiler?

thanks for the reply...But I have set the cross compiler for ARM and when i type set command it shows this message:
CC=/usr/bin/gcc

and i m getting the same error again..should i have to set the CC variable for cross compiler???

If you don't set CC, how are the build scripts supposed to guess what compiler to use?

thanks for the reply..now i m able to make and also get the zImage of the kernel

Hi zahidul, i'm currently running into the same problem as yours. Is it possible to let me know, how you solved it previously?
