Re: the way to build/setup an original kernel

Thanks for your comments.

I succeeded to set up the OpenEmbedded environment.
Now, I'm repeating trials to build kernel and others.
# In this process, as monotime-0.25 was not provided for FC5,
# I built and packaged it.

I'm sorry of my ignorance. orz

I tried Linus' latest git + your critical patch with defconfig in
the mainline kernel. But It didn't work.
It may be necessary to apply any other patches included in OpenZaurus
tree as you noticed.

By the way, is there a way to build a part of the images ?
Because building the whole of rom-image needs so long time,
I think it's useful to reduce our time, if we can build a part
of the image like kernel or sysvinit, busybox...

Thanks,
