Compile for another platform

[Tnix76]

Hi,

I'm on Debian x64 system and I can compile succesfully TBS drivers for my installation. But how can I compile for another Linux machine or distro? Should I download the target kernel headers and configure anywhere in the source tree? How does it do?

Thanks.

yes, you need target kernel headers

Ok, and how can I instruct the compiler or make process to find the target kernel headers instead my local machine ones? Maybe any env variable in a Makefile? I'm lost and I don't know it ...

Thanks.

build script support version option:

root@computer:/usr/local/src/media_build$ ./build --help
Usage:
build [--help] [--man] [--verbose] [--check-only] [<--git> [URL]
[BRANCH]] [--main-git] [--depth [DEPTH]] [--version [KERNELVERSION]]

Options:
--help Print a brief help message and exits.

--man   Prints the manual page and exits.

--verbose
        Be more verbose.

--check-only
        Don't do anything, except for checking if the needed
        dependencies are there.

--git [URL] [BRANCH]
        Allows specifying a URL and a git branch, instead of the default
        ones. Currently, only linuxtv.org git URL's are supported, as
        the build needs to warrant an unique namespace for git remotes.

--main-git
        Use the main development git tree, as found at
        <http://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git>.

--depth [DEPTH]
        When doing a git clone (e. g. with --git or --main-git), pass
        the depth parameter, in order to get a smaller tree.

        That helps to reduce disk storage and download time.

--version [KERNELVERSION]
        Try to build for a particular kernel version. The format of the
        version string is the same as the output from 'uname -r'.

Makefile accept VER variable for config:
mke allyesconfig VER=$kernel_version
