Hi there,

i want to stick to the 4.4 kernel an tried to compile kernel 4.4.12 (cubietruck) via:

 

apt-get -y install git

git clone https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib--depth 1
cp lib/compile.sh .
chmod +x compile.sh
./compile.sh

 

after that, i built the following directory and file:

 

mkdir userpatches

vi userpatches/lib.config

 

and added:

 

KERNELBRANCH="v4.4.12" (also tried KERNELBRANCH="v4.5.6")

 

as described here:

 

 

http://forum.armbian...est-kernel-447/

 

 

Whenn running ./compile, i get the following messages:

 

  │   LD [M]  drivers/media/v4l2-core/tuner.o                                                                                                                                  â”‚

Any hints?

Yes, you will need to add patches which were removed with this commit:

https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/commit/c788fc379d4fabd5453cc490fb03865c67fe71fa

 

At least for 4.5.6 ... for others you might need to remove certain patches.

Thxx for the quick reply - but its just too complicated for me  I will move to 4.6.1 ...

Is it possible to compile a custom kernel in a virtual machine, and transfer it over to replace the current kernel in my real my machine? If so, how can i make it happen?

I changed compile.sh.

FORCE_CHECKOUT="no"

 

I tried, but it was the following error.

[ error ] ERROR in function compile_kernel [ common.sh:176 ]
[ error ] Kernel was not built [ @host ]
[ o.k. ] Process terminated #

 

Is this the same cause?
