Old hardware, trying to make this for 32 bit
dkuchay opened this issue · comments
Followed readme and got as far as editing the make file to aim at 32 as directed via the listed variables. Kernel downloaded but the script, make kernel, stopped a few lines in indicating that I do not have a config file for config-4.19.113-tinycore.
Is it just a matter of renaming the config? I look within and it almost looks like there is more 64 pins than the listed variables.... Is it possible to use this to build 32 bit kernels / OS?
I have items in my hardware marked "experimental", namely cs5535 pata. Tiny is about the last micro os that has a functional build system. Would be nice to use.
Yes you can use this to build 32-bit kernels. Just ensure:
kernels/config-4.19.113-tinycoreexistsmodules/4.19.113-tinycoreexists
You can just copy the existing 64-bit version of those files/directories (and tweak the kernel config).
When you build, also specify KERNEL_ARCH=i386 and make sure you have the core.gz file available in the OSDIR path.
Great. Thank you!
