Hi guys,
I've really been having a hard time trying to compile a kernel for the Droid DNA. I've downloaded the kernel source from the HTC dev site, and within the download there is a readme which suggests to download this toolchain "git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilt." I have tried the toolchains included in this, but they never finish the compiling process. It's weird because it looks like it is processing nicely, and even runs for several minutes, but it just stops abrubtly and does not produce the zimage. I have also tried toolchains from the official Android NDK and even a custom one I found, with no luck. Most of the other toolchains just crap out with a bunch of errors, which looks like it is missing some library files, so I don't know what to do there.
Do you actually need to install the toolchain somehow, or can you just do an export CROSS_COMPILE=~/toolchain/bin/arm-linux-androideabi- to handle this? I would be more than greatful to get any sort of assistance with this, as it is starting to drive me nuts! lol. I also uploaded some of the errors and final output from my last compile.

Will do. Thanks for the reply.
Alright, I have discovered my problem. It looks like I was in fact missing the xt_mark.h file. For some reason, the HTC kernel source only includes xt_MARK.h. I downloaded the kernel source for the Nexus 4 and pulled the necessary header files. I was missing a couple others, which I don't recall off hand. What has me baffled is that I seem to be the only one with this issue. I downloaded the HTC source again just to make sure, and just as I suspected it was missing some header files. Has anyone else experienced this?
EDIT: I just tested with a couple different toolchains and they all compile perfectly now. That is so strange that my problem this whole time has been missing header files from HTC.

Any ideas?

I guess you are looking on another file.
Code:
error, forbidden warning: dynamic_debug.h:75
I guess there is a problem in dynamic_debug.h in line 75. I guess you need to initialise something.
Here is dynamic_debug.h but I can't find the problem.
I will appreciate any opinion.
Try this method!

I am not much used to kernel related development but I analysed your dynamic_debug.h and found the problem (maybe a problem):
Normally, a do-while loop syntax is this:
Code:
do
{
Statement1;
Statement2;
...
}while(condition);
But I don't see a semicolon in the end of those loops in your code. This maybe a syntax error.
Also analyse these codes:
Code:
#if defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG)
extern int ddebug_remove_module(const char *mod_name);
extern __printf(2, 3)
int __dynamic_pr_debug(struct _ddebug *descriptor, const char *fmt, ...);
struct device;
extern __printf(3, 4)
int __dynamic_dev_dbg(struct _ddebug *descriptor, const struct device *dev,
const char *fmt, ...);
struct net_device;
extern __printf(3, 4)
int __dynamic_netdev_dbg(struct _ddebug *descriptor,
const struct net_device *dev,
const char *fmt, ...);
Every intialisation has 4 protocols but the first initialisation contain only 3.
Try the above things and tell me back if it works or not.
So, the problem was in Makefile and .config. I compared and added some flags from Mako (from franco) and it worked. I still have some warning/s, some breakpoints but at least now it's working. Anyway, this thread may be useful for all of us. Thanks a lot for help.
Now, another problem.
Code:
CC fs/proc/loadavg.o
CC fs/proc/meminfo.o
fs/proc/meminfo.c: In function ‘meminfo_proc_show’:
fs/proc/meminfo.c:175:1: internal compiler error: in optimize_sc, at modulo-sched.c:1069

with preprocessed source if appropriate.

make[1]: *** [fs/proc] Error 2

With linaro 4.8.3 => OK;
linaro 4.8.3 + A15 optimize=> fail, error above. meminfo.c it's exactly like the one from nexus 4.

Hey sarsdani Apologies that I'm quoting you 12 month later. I am getting an identical error in the same file/address as you had when you posted this question. Im compiling stock HTC m7 Android L kernel with Google tool chain 4.8 - android 5.1 r1
You mentioned later on that you changed the Makefile and .config to fix the [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] error. Can you please detail what those changes were or point me to an example ( if you can remember ) I could just change Wmaybe in Makefile to Wno but turning the flag off altogether seems dangerous.
@Joeisgood99 there are two ways to solve this.
1. using a "hack". So, you need to add in makefile (in root folder from kernel source) at KBUILD_CFLAGS: -Wno-maybe-uninitialized \
2. Open that file with the error and asign a value to protocol.
The first option is not dangerous. Why? Because only the toolchain say this. In gcc 4.6, the reason why you don't get this error is because it assign a value automatically to that "protocol", usualy random value but not always. In gcc 4.7/4.8/4.9(or 4.10) this is threated as warning/error.

Any ideas what this could be? I'm a bit stumped i've never seen an error like this before
It's okay i retired the project as of now since trying to modify the kernel source code isn't do anything but causing more errors. I do appreciate any help when everyone has a chance
So I've done some work on boot images before, but not much, and I wanted to try building a kernel for AOSP KitKat on the EVO 4G LTE. (Why not Lollipop? Data and roaming issues.) But I'm hitting camera-related errors when I try to compile it. Here's the relevant output in the make process:

I tried to fix it by adding the HTC_CAMERA_HAL_VERSION config to Kconfig, but then I get this error instead:

Hi,
I'm trying to compile the kernel source from @flar2
I didn't find a specific build instructions so followed the usual method
After pointing to toolchain folder
Kernel source: https://github.com/korom42/ocean
