Hi everyone, I am wishing to port BLCR to an ARM platform, and I was wondering whether you could offer some advice and also answer several questions. First of all, I can see that nearly all the architecture dependent code is in the files arch/cr_arch.h and arch/cr_atomic.h - is there any documentation/explanation of what the assembly code in these two files is doing? Also, are are there any other architecture-dependent parts to BLCR besides those in the above two files? I would appreciate any advice (perhaps based upon previous experience) or information you can give to someone embarking this sort of task. At the moment I am simply trying to build BLCR "as is" on an ARM platform (natively), and I am having trouble getting past the configure stage, with the configure script refusing to accept my kernel symbol table in System.map. When not including --with-system-map, the configure script does not find my System.map file (even though it is in the standard locations prescribed), while with the flag the error generated is: "configure: error: failed to validate System.map" I have rebuilt my kernel (2.6.17, using cross-compilation), for a Debain linux system, and the kernel source should be configured. Any ideas would be appreciated. Best regards, Anton -- Anton V.
