I was trying to build a kernel for my android device. I would have used my Linux system for building a kernel but unfortunately it had its hdd failed. So I am now using Windows 10 WSL for building the kernel. I am really new in building kernel and I have a few doubts:

  1. When I tried to use arm-linux-gnueabihf 4.7 for making clean I got this error: 

    ccache execv 'my toolchain path' execv format error

    I tried it with few other toolchains but same error came. Then I used arm-eabi 4.8 which worked correctly. This solved the problem but I would like to know what the error was and what caused it and is there a fix?

  2. How should I know what toolchain I should use for building kernels like some people tell me to use a toolchain some people tell me to use someother toolchain.

  3. When I tried to build the kernel with arm-eabi 4.8 I got an error 

    /home/inkiluz/kernel/security/tima_uevent/tima_uevent.c:217:1: fatal error: opening dependency file security/tima_uevent/.tima_uevent.o.d: No such file or directory
 module_exit(tima_uevent_exit);
 ^
compilation terminated.

    Is this a toolchain error or did i do something wrong? How can I rectify this?

    Here is the the error log: https://del.dog/diwijegetu.

Please do help me out...

  • Message "makefile:130 error 2" is not such informative: it just tells that *some* error has been occured **before**. It should be a message describing *actual* error somewhere above in the build log (before the lines you show us). For being able to help you, we need to see that actual error message. – Tsyvarev May 22 '19 at 07:34
  • Oh thanks i have posted the build log above in dogbin link – user11537317 May 22 '19 at 10:28
  • At the line 3 of your log you have a fatal error: "/home/inkiluz/kernel/security/tima_uevent/tima_uevent.c:217:1: fatal error: <...>". For the debugging purposes, the lines after that error are secondary. Please, [edit] your question and add this error message into it. It is a rule of Stack Overflow that the error message should be **in the question post**; links are not saticfy for that requirement. (When edit, you may remove from the question post the message `makefile:130 error 2`: according to the error log, this is not even an actual message, and may only confuse other readers). – Tsyvarev May 22 '19 at 10:36

  • First, disable ccache. Second, br sure you set correct ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE environment variables. – 0andriy May 22 '19 at 12:08
