So I gave compiling this another go. Why not.

Spoiler:

me@dev /usr/local/src/gnuboy-1.0.3.kindle $ strace -fF -o ~/gnuboy-strace.txt make

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -march=armv6 --sysroot=/arm -O0 -Wall -Wno-implicit -Wno-long-long -fstrength-reduce -fthread-jumps -fcse-follow-jumps -fcse-skip-blocks -frerun-cse-after-loop -I. -I./sys/nix -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DIS_LITTLE_ENDIAN -DIS_LINUX -c sys/fbdev/fbdev.c -o sys/fbdev/fbdev.o
sys/fbdev/fbdev.c:20:26: error: linux/einkfb.h: No such file or directory

Okay I thought. The TC must be missing the headers. (Thought I had actually done this?)

so I tried

cd /usr/local/src/BUILD_KERNAL/linux-2.6.26/
make headers_install ARCH=arm INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/arm/usr/include

which (incredibly?) doesn't actually emit an einkfb.h file (did I get the ARCH wrong?)

SEE EDIT BELOW:

so I thought I would just try including this by-hand

me@dev /usr/local/src/gnuboy-1.0.3.kindle $ strace -fF -o ~/gnuboy-strace2.txt make
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -march=armv6 --sysroot=/arm -O0 -Wall -Wno-implicit -Wno-long-long -fstrength-reduce -fthread-jumps -fcse-follow-jumps -fcse-skip-blocks -frerun-cse-after-loop -I. -I./sys/nix -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DIS_LITTLE_ENDIAN -DIS_LINUX -c lcd.c -o lcd.o

..Blah...

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -march=armv6 --sysroot=/arm -O0 -Wall -Wno-implicit -Wno-long-long -fstrength-reduce -fthread-jumps -fcse-follow-jumps -fcse-skip-blocks -frerun-cse-after-loop -I. -I./sys/nix -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DIS_LITTLE_ENDIAN -DIS_LINUX -c sys/fbdev/fbdev.c -o sys/fbdev/fbdev.o
In file included from sys/fbdev/fbdev.c:20:

/arm/usr/include/linux/einkfb.h:50: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'u8'
make: *** [sys/fbdev/fbdev.o] Error 1

reading around the only thing I could find (so far) that makes reference to this error is

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ml#post4008056

Which is completely unrelated to my issue... (other than perhaps inferring I actually need another file entirely that I don't have)

and the more general http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6...ist-before-typ

Now this one infers that I am indeed an idiot and this is PEBCAK...

Clues? anyone?

So I tried patching ./sys/fbdev/fbdev.c

#include <linux/fb.h>
#include <linux/einkfb.h>

// just to make the compiler happy
#include <asm/types.h>
typedef __u8 u8;

#include "fb.h"
#include "input.h"

This was something I noted in the fbKindle project that I thought may be relevant... Still didn't swallow it.

Hmm. running out of ideas. Any clues anyone?

EDIT: me@dev /usr/local/src/BUILD_KERNAL/linux-2.6.26 $ ls -d include/asm-* | sed 's/.*-//'

alpha
arm

Spoiler:

arm26
avr32

h8300
ia64

mips

err? I dunno, don't think so. I will try again with arm26


Err.. no I wont...

me@dev /usr/local/src/BUILD_KERNAL/linux-2.6.26/arch $ ls

alpha blackfin h8300 m32r mips powerpc sh um xtensa
arm cris ia64 m68k mn10300 ppc sparc v850
avr32 frv Kconfig m68knommu parisc s390 sparc64 x86

there is no arm26... sigh... perhaps my sed was mangled.

... erm no...

me@dev /usr/local/src/BUILD_KERNAL/linux-2.6.26/include $ ls -d asm-*

asm-alpha asm-cris asm-m32r asm-parisc asm-sparc asm-xtensa
asm-arm asm-frv asm-m68k asm-powerpc asm-sparc64

asm-avr32 asm-h8300 asm-mips asm-s390 asm-v850
asm-blackfin asm-ia64 asm-mn10300 asm-sh asm-x86

but it simply contains a single ref to a pci include. as opposed to a full set of headers

DOH! why it it so difficult. : ) Oh that's right! because I obviously don't understand the instructions...
