Think I have an issue to report. I have V5.0 in a vdi and am trying to build kernel for odd hardware. Failed two times at the same spot so I downloaded new source and watched it patch. Pushed through 4 aufs files that were not there.
I only flipped one option in menuconfig: /drivers/input/misc/atlas_btns
Left all else as stock options. Most of it builds but near the end where you start to watch for kernel size and just before modules start to buildl I get this error:
/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh
lne 114 Invalid signal specification
Make *** [Makefile:1156 vmlinuxclean]
Error 1
Before building I installed slitaz-toolchain. On my first build I got only a few lines in when I was told that BC was missing from system. I did a tazpkg get-install bc and saw readlink also come in.
Is there a step or package I am missing?

Verify all BUILD_DEPENDS from the linux/receipt are installed:
http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/file/c8740863dd45/linux/receipt#l15
bc is included and would have been auto-installed if [c]cook linux[/c] command is used to build linux.
The error may indicate bash in not installed.
If your not using cookutils to build packages you should install packages listed in cook.conf SETUP_PKGS variable

Thank you. didnt realize I was on old method. After installing slitaz-toolchain I did choose bash.
cook setup
cook linux
failed with missing aufs3 patch directories in /home/slitaz. Is this my fault that the directories are not there?
Also how can I insert a config file for a particular kernel build? Will —interactive do that once patch dirs are in place?

Went back in to this and opened kernel receipt grabbed all dependencies. No ulibc-crosscompiler though. Not in repo.
I did a cook setup —wok
cook linux
cook linux-3.16.55
cook new linux. — makes blank receipt file
cook linux -gs
All these commands either did nothing or look to bring in new kernel and source and I am not sure if —interactive will allow me to make menuconfig
Is there a way I can use the source already downloaded? Realizing new tools work better for large architectural feats how can one just add some drivers to a kernel and move on quicky? Even on V5 when the kernel source downloads if says right there to use make tazpkg if you want to make a installable package. Including screen shot of what fails this time and at the same spot. Documentation is hard to follow. Do we use conspy for this? When should and should I use or not use conspy?

# tazpkg -gi mercurial
# mkdir /home/slitaz && cd /home/slitaz
# hg clone http://hg.slitaz.org/wok
<modify linux/receipt and linux/stuff/* as you want>
# cook linux

Thank you. This will keep me busy for a while.

A few steps in I get told that error on dep 13.
Cloned wok. Looked over linux-sourcereceipt. Wanted to test a build to make sure I had access to menuconfig (default kernels will not work)
cooker pkg linux-source —interactive
was issued and it exited chroot a moment later on dep 13 error. Looking over the deps the only one that I can not find is busybox-boot. There were not even 13 deps on the kernel. Just checked. Busybox-boot is the tenth and last dep listed on the receipt. What is dep 13?
Will I be able to use a custom config file or get in to menuconfig (interactively) using this method? Although my error is not the exact same as the thread this was started on but I still fail on same spot in make tazpkg within kernel source directory
Also if I want v4 iso’s to work on my hardware I have been told that I may need to build old syslinux-3.82 on v4. This was a package in v3. I use tazlito and just make old syslinux appear in packages directory. Yet have I seen x11 work on these iso’s. No errors either.
If I want to get old syslinux in to wok and then make an iso what is the workflow? I cant seem to find old syslinux-3.82 in hg.... Where is it? I went to web interface and browsed but can not find it. Do I need to download it from outside of Slitaz?
Whats the chance I can convert a package list from tazlto in to a build recipe for cooker?? I just need to include a custom kernel and use old syslinux to get my old hardware to boot your newer versions. 4 and 5. Two changes. Do I really need to manually fill out package receipts for all packages within a distribution for two changs?

Ironically I got that image installed to hardware and openbox-session went missing out of /usr/bin. Got it replaced by bringing in tazpkg’s on usb sick. Once I got x to start no icons would show. Installed clearlooks, tango and hi-color and all registered invalid image format so I changed internal flash chips this morning. Now I have new interesting but relative.
I have the module I am trying to load showing in ls but modprobe refuses to load it saying it cant find it. So I run depmod and try again.

Think I am on to something.
When using tazlito there are packages that get included like linux-wireless.
Well..... I build my own kernel and if I change the cpu model then extra packages that Slitaz offers that import kernel modules like bluetooth or wireless or agp... these all I am guessing were built on a i386 specific kernel. I am using geode specific kernel so that things like geode companion chip become visible in kernel config. Many builds now I see module that will not load indicating improper format. I feel that these are from Sltaz packages that overlay kernel modules from a.different cpu model and this may be why I see error on invalid format. Why I can depmod and try to reload and it still fails.
Going to eliminate the linux-* packages from tazlito disto-packages.list and try again.

Confirmed. If building ones own kernel eliminate any linux-* module or driver packages from your kernel when using tazlito.
