OK... having another go....
My goals are this: Take the FPGA balloon I have here and build things to the
stage where I can run a shell and basic busybox commands and have enough
development environment where I can build and run a kernel with a changed
yaffs for yaffs testing.
I'm following the instructions on
www.balloonboard.org/balloonwiki.SoftwareBuilding. I hope that is the right
songsheet.
Having tried ToT and r 945 which failed to build completely I take it from the
above that r 839 is the magic. So let's give that a go.
$ svn update -r 839
then
$ make
which fell over in a heap because the bit that fetches yaffs2does a wget of
the tarball and untars (which passes) and then still tries to do a cvs export
which fails due to the files being in the way. Commenting out the bit of the
kernel/Makefile that does the cvs export and we're building again...
NB: This patch is not a general fix because it also comments out the yaffs
kernel patching. Just given here to show what I did. Since I already have a
yaffs2 patched into the kernel from a previous build this is just to make
some progress.
