Re: how to build xen kernel?

Hi Jeremy,

I don't know if this can help, but when I compile a kernel I perform  
these steps :
( my directory containing "src" & "xsrc" is /CROSSCOMP/BUILD/ )

-1- Build the toolchain :
./build.sh -N 1 -j 3 -m i386 -O /CROSSCOMP/BUILD/obj.i386 -T / 
CROSSCOMP/BUILD/tools.i386 -D /CROSSCOM
P/BUILD/dest.i386 -R /CROSSCOMP/BUILD/release.i386 -X /CROSSCOMP/ 
BUILD/xsrc -U -x tools

-2- Build the Kernel :
./build.sh -N 1 -j 3 -m i386 -O /CROSSCOMP/BUILD/obj.i386 -T / 
CROSSCOMP/BUILD/tools.i386 -D /CROSSCOM
P/BUILD/dest.i386 -R /CROSSCOMP/BUILD/release.i386 -X /CROSSCOMP/ 
BUILD/xsrc -U -x -u kernel=MYKERNEL

I'm not sure you could both use "tools" & "kernel" on the same  
command line ...

But I haven't tested to compile for ARCH XEN. I only know it works  
perfectly with i386 / amd64 / sparc64 / macppc ( I tested it )

Best Regards,

Arnaud.
