I need to get source codes of all the 3.x version of Linux Kernel. As my study will be on the 3.x versions. Cloning every source code is a tedious process, so this post is about how to do it easily.
Clone the source code of current linux:
from here using
git clone git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
This is gonna take some time.
Download the Makefile:
From here. Put it in your home folder or wherever you are gonna use it.
To add new v3.x versions, run in home directory
git --git-dir=/home/tapasweni/linux/.git fetch
Note: Replace the /home/tapasweni/linux/ path to your path, it was clone in a folder named linux, so I did this.
If you do not have the glimpseindex_cocci.sh download it from here.
Do not forget to change the paths in your Makefile.
Now run make
make all-linux-3
You may get something like this (error):
make all-linux-3 git --git-dir=/home/tapasweni/linux/.git fetch make check-linux-3 make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tapasweni' Retrieving linux-3.14 cd linux && git archive --format=tar --prefix=linux-3.14/ v3.14 | (cd .. && tar xf - ) cd linux-3.14 && ~/coccinelle/scripts/glimpseindex_cocci.sh /home/kt/coccinelle/scripts/glimpseindex_cocci.sh: 3: /home/kt/coccinelle/scripts/glimpseindex_cocci.sh: glimpseindex: not found make[1]: *** [linux-3.14] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tapasweni' make: *** [all-linux-3] Error 2
What does this tells?
You do not have the glimpse installed. Use these instructions to install it. You need Glimpse and not Web Glimpse. So only install the one required.
