[MiNT] Compiling a FreeMiNT kernel

[Matthias Arndt <marndt@asmsoftware.de>]

Hello all,

i'm beginning to get curious and trying to compile a FreeMiNT kernel on
my own.

I have a cross compiler on my harddrive:
$ m68k-atari-mint-gcc --version
m68k-atari-mint-gcc (GCC) 4.5.0 (MiNT 20100511)
Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

PURPOSE.


I have the kernel source from CVS on my harddrive, following
instructions at http://wiki.sparemint.org

But now I'm stuck as I can't find a starter point to initiate a sort of
compile configuration. There is a makefile but what options are possible
and how to set the compiler to use.

I basically miss a "how to compile guide in 10 easy steps" ;)

BTW I solely intend to do some testing and getting into the thing, i
probably will not really contribute code but only commentary.

I want to learn more about FreeMiNT and maybe add to VanillaMiNT later.

Regards,
Matthias
