To the more proficient hackers, I've been playing with the kernel source from Samsung, this is what I got so far, and not much. I though I'd try to see if I could use their script to build the kernel, but I run into some roadblocks.
And of course I'm doing this on Linux.
1. Downloaded the kernel source from Samsung and unzip and run the following from within the folder where you unzipped the source: find . -exec dos2unix {} +
2. Follow the directions from
Get source (Android Open Source Project) to download the Android source and tools(arm compilers, etc). When you get to the part to run repo, do it within the Platform_Cupcake directory.
3. In the scripts directory, change the permissions on all shell scripts to allow execution, and edit build_kernel.sh so the two lines near the top that say CROSS_COMPILER only jump up one directory instead of two.
4. Create a symlink from kernel to kernel_2.6.27 in the top level directory.
5. Now run the build_kernel.sh script and watch it come to a stop
It stops because it cant find "drivers/fsr/Kconfig" I looked around and couldnt find anything. My guess is this fsr device is something Samsung is keeping closed, probably what deals with the rild.
Also another intersting thing is there are other build scripts that reference kernel patches that were not included, but if I understand the gpl correctly, they should have been released. Which is the same conclusion reached in a French forum
Google Translate.
So yea not alot to add, but hey if someone more talented then me can build from this, good for you. You guys got my support.
wow where do you guys get the brains? I think its so cool what your talking about.I couldn't even begin to fathom what your doing. Cool stuff.
