Is it possible compile an a new x86_64 kernel on an i686 CentOS
system? When I tried to do so with this command
rpmbuild -ba --target x86_64 kernel-2.6.spec
I got the following error:
make[1]: *** [nonint_oldconfig] Error 51
make: *** [nonint_oldconfig] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.40130 (%build)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.40130 (%build)
Isn't gcc able to do cross compile?

You can make i[3,4,5,6]86 RPMS on an x86_64 machine ... can't do x86_64 RPMS from a i686 machine.> When I tried to do so with this command > > rpmbuild -ba --target x86_64 kernel-2.6.spec > > I got the following error: > > make[1]: *** [nonint_oldconfig] Error 51 > make: *** [nonint_oldconfig] Error 2 > error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.40130 (%build) > > > RPM build errors: > Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.40130 (%build) > > > > Isn't gcc able to do cross compile? > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > >-------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If you _really_ want to do it, googling for 'cross compiler x86_64' will produce many pointers, but I wouldn't recommend going there ... James Pearson
