Re: [Kernel] Ziggy471 MECHA BETA Kernel UPDATED 3 May 11

First off, I don't appreciate my thread being hijacked.

Second, I really wasn't online much last night, at least not checking things here, I spent a 12 hour day yesterday on the range, over 3K rounds down range with just 3 shooters, a mix of 5.56mm on HK 416's and 9mm on Sig 229's. I didn't know any of this was going on until somewhere after 1032 EST, when I got the notification of a reported post by Andrynalyn, just like every other mod on the site. We had very little cell coverage, let alone reliable data coverage on the ranges. The first thing I did was a voice call to Mr. X, who by the way is not just a mod, he's the site administrator, and asked him to handle it, thank god for GVoice, I hate bills for calls to Canada.

Mr. X started to keep me in the loop at that time, he is also the one who added the link to my git server on my website, yes, he's an admin there too. Since PPCG doesn't requite me to post the link to the source, I hadn't, but the server had been up since I started posting here, whether you care to believe that or not. If you also care to check, I have never started a kernel thread at XDA, nor do I really intend to. Others have started them because of my kernels, and I take that as a complement that they appreciate my work enough to start a thread.

I planned on having the git server up and going long before I got the TB, I hadn't had much time to devote to getting it set up due to my battle with the AF to remain on active duty after my med board came back. They wanted to separate me with compensation at 18 years 3 months, I fought it and was allowed to stay on active duty until 20, so I could retire. I'm not using this is an excuse, I don't make excuses, and I don't lie, I have to do poly's once a year. I'm mentioning it so you may understand why I haven't been able to get things going sooner.

If you can't get it to compile, that's not really my issue, but I'll give you a list of what I'm running:
Ubuntu 11.04 32bit (installed Saturday afternoon from scratch)
arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc

Nothing else really special, other than in Natty, they don't use gnueabi 4.4 by default and 4.4 is borked in their packages anyway, hence me doing fixes in order for a warning free compile last night. I don't use the ndk toolchain anymore, decided to clean things up a bit and started using standard gnu gcc.

As for the config, I include the config in my kernels, you can get it from a running kernel at /proc/config.gz, or a non-running kernel using extract_ikconfig, come on guys this is simple shit. I can't guarantee that it will compile with the default config, never really tried that, I use my own config. Hell, I don't even compile in the same directory as the source, for the MECHA, I run 2 kernels from the same tree, and the frankenstine, 12 kernels from the same tree, again, simple shit guys.

I don't plan on being online much tonight, another long day today, 4K rounds down range, again, just the three shooters, and it was a nice sunny 75F/24C out today, see X, I converted it for you. lol All I wanted to do when I got home was to clean up, site down and enjoy some ice cold beer. This is what I intended on doing once I finish writing this, the beer is in the freezer getting really cold right now.


Now off to enjoy my beer,

Z
