has anybody had success compiling kernel/modules for LE40C750 or related ARM devices? When I try to compile the linux kernel from Samsung's open source package I get:

Code: Select all

~/linux# make image
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
scripts/basic/fixdep: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
make[2]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Fehler 2
make[1]: *** [scripts_basic] Fehler 2
make: *** Keine Regel, um ?image? zu erstellen.  Schluss.

Any hints?

1. seem your system miss some devel packages (HOSTCC has nothing to with the crosscompiler, it try to compile some helper apps for your build host)
2. there is no target image its named Image zImage uImage or bzImage
3. set also the ARCH like : make ARCH=arm Image
4. you can also set the crosscompiler via variable but this is a different kettle of fish..

My goal is to run other third party webcams for skype widget. For this I need to compile the kernel modules for my webcam.

save your time, it won't work. the skype app don't communicate with the cam over a linux driver but over sockets, data is feed by exeDSP over userspace,
and this part is very cam specific. you better forget abut to use a 3-party cam.

for the toolchain. your must have a 32-bit linux to kompile the toolchain. With 64-bit linux have problems with the compiler.
