Kernel

Prerequisites

To build a linux kernel from an oasis system, you'll need make and python as well as the core system. Normally, perl is required to build linux, but we'll apply a patch to use python instead.

Clone

First, checkout the linux sources.

git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git /src/linux
cd /src/linux
git checkout $TAG

You'll need to apply some patches to remove the perl dependency, and fix the build with ksh and sbase.

git pull --no-edit https://github.com/michaelforney/linux

Configure

If your toolchain does not support running dynamic executables, you need to set HOSTCC in your make invocations.

export MAKEFLAGS='HOSTCC=cc\ -static'

Configure the kernel for your system. If you installed the ncurses library and headers, you should be able to use make menuconfig.

Build

make

Install

mount /boot
[ -f /boot/linux ] && cp /boot/linux /boot/linux.old
cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/linux
umount /boot
