CONFIGURING AND BUILDING

Creating a Configuration
           The kernel configuration is kept in a file called .config in the top directory of kernel source tree.
Configuring from scratch
The most basic method of configuring is to use make config method.
$ cd linux-2.6.29
$ make config
make config
scripts/kconfig/conf arch/i386/Kconfig
 Linux Kernel Configuration
 Code maturity level options
Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers (EXPERIMENTAL) [Y/n/?]
Y

* General setup
The kernel configuration program will step through every configuration option and ask you if you wish to enable this option or not. Typically, your choices for each option are shown in the format [Y/m/n/?] The capitalized letter is the default, and can be selected by just pressing the Enter key. The four choices are:
y Build directly into the kernel.
n Leave entirely out of the kernel.
m Build as a module, to be loaded if needed.
? Print a brief descriptive message and repeat the prompt.

RETRIEVING THE KERNEL SOURCE

        This section deal about the usage of kernel source i.e., which version to be used for building and configuration.
        In the past, Linux kernel was split into two trees, the “development branch” and “stable branch”
     2.5.29 is a “development kernel” and 2.4.29 is a “stable kernel”.
The kernel developers decided to abandon this method of having two separate trees, and declared that all 2.6 kernel releases would be considered “stable,” no matter how quickly development was Happening. The few months between the major 2.6 releases would allow kernel developers the time to add new features and then stabilize them in time for the next release. Combined with this, a “-stable” kernel branch has been created that releases bug fixes and security updates for the past kernel release, before the next major 2.6 release happens.

The kernel can be downloaded as shown below
To download it using curl:
$ curl http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.17.8.tar.gz \
-o linux-2.6.17.8.tar.gz
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time

Speed
100 49.3M 100 49.3M 0 0 50298 0 0:17:08 0:17:08 --:--:--
100k
For a quick and easy way to determine the latest kernel versions, use the information
available at http://www.kernel.org/kdist/finger_banner

After downloading follow the given steps:

1)    $ mkdir ~/linux
2)    move the source code to the directory created
$ mv ~/linux-2.6.17.8.tar.gz ~/linux
3)    Now get into the directory using change directory command
$ cd ~/linux
4)    Uncompress the source code
$ tar –xvvzf     linux-2.6.17.8.tar.gz
5)    Check the contents of ~/linux directory using ls command
$ ls

Introduction  

Linux kernel is the most flexible operating system that has ever been created. It can be tuned for a wide range of different systems, running on everything from a radio-controlled model helicopter, to a cell phone, to the majority of the largest supercomputers in the world.


How to Build and successfully boot?

    At first tools are required to build the Linux Kernel.
One of the important tool required is Compiler.
  
Compiler
As we know already Linux Kernel is written in C programming language, along a few assembly language instructions.
To build Linux Kernel we require gcc C compiler.
gcc-GNU C Compiler.
It is suggested to use a old version of gcc because later may have some problems.
To find the version of gcc use the following command in the terminal or CLI.
$ gcc –version
$ - indicates the shell
Linker
The C compiler, gcc does not do all of the compiling on its own. It needs an additional set of tools known as binutils to do the linking and assembling of source files.
The binutils always have an added advantage that can manipulate object files in lot of ways.
You can obtain the binutils in the website www.gnu.org.
In order to find the version of the binutils use the following Command.
$ ld – v
Make
 Make is a tool used to which runs along with Linux Kernel     source tree to determine which files to be compiled and it will call t    the compiler and linker to build the Linux Kernel.
It can be found in the previously mentioned website.
Here it is better to use latest version of make.
      
Important tools to use the kernel
    Util-linux
    Module-init-tools
    File system specific tools
    Other tools


Util-linux
It is tool used for different tasks such as mounting and creation of disk partitions and manipulation of the hardware clock in the system.
To determine the kind of version of util-linux, run the following command in the terminal.
$ fdformat –version


Module-init-tools
It is an optional tool and depends on the requirement of an individual.
What is kernel module?
    Kernel module is a chunk of code that can be added or removed from the kernel while the kernel is running.
What is its use?
    It is useful in compiling Linux device drivers as modules and then load only the ones that correspond to the hardware present in the system.
         All Linux distribution use the module for Linux device driver instead of using a bulk of code. Module saves the memory.
To determine the version of the tool use the following command in the terminal.
$ depmod –v

File-System Specific Tools
A wide range of tools specific to particular file systems are necessary to create, format, configure, and fix disk partitions. The util-linux package has a few of these utilities, but some of the more popular file systems have separate packages that contain the necessary programs.  
ext2/ext3/ext4      
The ext3 and experimental ext4 are upgrades of ext2 and can be managed with same tools. To work with any of these file systems we need e2fsprog package.

To determine the version use the following command in the terminal
$ tune2fs

JFS
To use the JFS File system from IBM it should be downloaded.
To determine the current version use the following command in the system
$ fsck .jfs –V
