[Q] How to compile kernels?

Hey Everyone
Just looking for help to compile kernels for this phone. For my previous u8150 I followed Alan Orth's guide here:
http://mjanja.co.ke/2011/06/compiling-custom-kernels-on-the-huawei-u8150/
as well as using and modifying his kernel source mostly to tweak governers and schedulers.
I am getting compile errors which prevent the source from building. I have used the config.gz from DZO's oxygen and have tried to build both franco Kernel and 2.6.35 from huawei both with no joy.
Anyone want to post a step by step to help me and others get into kernel building more?
Thanks

[Q] build CM7 for Galaxy Y GT-S5363 from source

Hi all.
I have successfully flashed PsychoGame's CyanogenMod 7 ROM for GT-s5360 together with its kernel.
Now i would like to make some changes in the source code of CM7 and to build it from source. Unfortunately i have spent already 4 days without success.
Those are the steps that i did:
1. I have downloaded CM7 source code from git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread
2. I have cloned PsychoGame's totoro device code into /devices/samsubg/totoro
3. i have connected my device via USB and run the script extract-files.sh which successfully extracted all files.
4. during the building i realized that the above script extract all essential files (like camera related), so i cloned PsychoGame's vendor directory from github.com/PsychoGame/android_vendor_samsung_totoro.git
5. now i realized that the file cyanogem_totoro.mk in the directory vendor/cyanogen/products is missing. where i can find a suitable file?
i have found somewhere such file and succeeded to build an ROM, unfortunately CWM does't let me to flash it because the assert command checks that the current device in "totoro" but it fails. i have tried to open the zip file of the ROM and to delete the assert command but CWM still can''t flash the new ROM.
can somebody please help me with some guild about how PsychoGame built his last vertion of CM - CyanogenMod 7 Alpha 5 Release
Thank you very much!

Use percys source code - It has more fixes
Compare build.prop and update binary & scripts for cwm flashing

Percys github is

I haven’t compiled a Cyanogen rom before
If you would like to contribute to the building of Cyanogen roms the best person to talk to is percy

Thank you!

[Q] Compile stock CM11 kernel -> bootloop

Hello together,
I hope someone maybe can help me out. In the past I comiled the standard CM11 kernel by myself. I just add a few minor tweaks for my display color calibration and so on. Nothing special.
Since CM11 I'm always stuck in a bootloop after the "Google" logo. Even if I try only the stock CM11 kernel without any changes. Same toolchain (4.7) and so on. Why is that the case?!
I hope someone, maybe from all the experiencened kernel creators here, can give me a hint where's my problem? Is it maybe something with all the SELinux stuff? It was also the case in CM10.2 if I tried to comile with modules enabled.
Help here would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards, Fred

OK, I answer this question myself. Just found out you have to compile the kernel inline with cyanogenmod. Sync the whole repo, initialize your device, make the changes to the kernel and compile it with make bootimage. This way I also have no need to use Anykernel script anymore.

Building omni 5.0 for maguro

Can someone help me wid this error http://pastebin.com/7kD4vewW First i got an inline kernel error then i fixed it by cherry picking this commit https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_build/commit/ac9c858bb5b8083f16b00e461b61819b34869e36 .. After that i got this error can someone help me ???

By the looks of the error you are trying to build with a pre compiled kernel. Specify in your BoardConfig the kernel directory and you should be good to build.

[Question] Error in building kernel for ZTE Blade L110

I've got an error in kernel makeing process. Even when I just unpack an archive, apply a defconfig (our is sp7731gea_hdr-dt_defconfig) and doing make nconfig with then just saving (to refresh config) it, then make interrupts with an error.
Kernel version 3.10.65, building with HYPER Linaro 6.0 (it is here somewhere in XDA), gcc6.
The screenshot is attached.
Help me solve this problem please!

Looks like this is solved by switching from Linaro HYPER gcc 6.0 to normal Linaro gcc 4.9.
Please do not close this thread as the problem at all may be incomplete (building is in process at the moment)...

This problem is solved, kernel compiles, but now this kernel does not boot. Maybe I've taken incorrect config variant.

Update. Kernel is good but the problem is boot, it does not boot even when I just unpack, pack and try to boot it... How must I pack it then? I use a kernel kitchen for now..

Thanks for (non-)helping, everyone who could but did not :crying:
