17:26 < kfries_> How do you fix a compilation error?  I found the problem, and the same problem occurred in buildroot, so I try to apply the same fix, I go into where it uncompressed the code src.linux26... and make the change.  Then when I tell it to build target again, it creates a new directory, unpacks the same broken code, ignoring my new fixed code, and compiles only to have the same f*$&(*%& error I just fixed!  How to fix?
18:22 < the_rainbow> hello kfries
18:22 < kfries_> hi
18:23 < the_rainbow> yes, actually t2's build system creates a new src dir everytime you launch the compilation process
18:23 < the_rainbow> when I see that I have to change some stuff on the package, I just make a patch
18:23 < the_rainbow> and put it in the package dir: package/../your-package
18:24 < the_rainbow> this patch is applied when you launch the compilation
18:24 < the_rainbow> when? It depends on the hook you're using
18:24 < the_rainbow> there're multiple hooks you can use in T2
18:24 < the_rainbow> like post_make
18:24 < the_rainbow> these hooks tell T2 when to apply the patch
18:25 < kfries_> My issue is with the kernel, and is documented at http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t8761.html
18:25 < the_rainbow> see the .conf files dor more information
18:26 < the_rainbow> great, just make the required changes using the .conf files
18:27 < kfries_> OK, I am a little lost
18:27 < the_rainbow> did you download the T2 handbook?
18:27 < kfries_> I have gone into the src... directory, and made the change
18:27 < kfries_> yes, that is what is confusing me
18:27 < kfries_> That is how I found the directory
18:28 < kfries_> Do I make the changes, then try to compile manually, then make the patch?
18:28 < kfries_> Or -
18:28 < the_rainbow> what changes have you made?
18:29 < kfries_> I added limits.h to the sumversion.c file
18:29 < kfries_> PATH_MAX was not properly getting initialized
18:30 < the_rainbow> great
18:30 < the_rainbow> just add the patch in the kernel directory
18:30 < the_rainbow> and it's going to be applied automatcally
18:31 < the_rainbow> do your diff and generate the patch file
18:31 < kfries_> So, is that the "fixfile Makefile" followed by the "fixfilediff" command?
18:31 < kfries_> I assume from the src... directory?
18:34 < the_rainbow> http://www.linuxtutorialblog.com/post/introduction-using-diff-and-patch-tutorial
19:05 < kfries_> OK, I have a patch, and verified that it works.  Its just a simple patch, not contextual or anything like that
19:06 < kfries_> Not sure where to put this
19:06 < kfries_> Or how to indicate which file it is supposed to patch
19:09 < the_rainbow> read page 32 in the T2-handbook
19:09 < the_rainbow> it explains how the patches work
19:09 < kfries_> I found {root}/package/base/linux26 that looks right, but my patchfile looks much different than rxr 
19:17 < kfries_> My patch looked much different, but I then followed the contextual patch, and that looks much better... gonna give that a try
19:37 < kfries_> Hot Dog, Rainbow, your a genius!!! kernel compiled and its now onto binutils.  This is my first real serious stab at T2, I played around before, but did not have time to fix stuff.  Its interesting to say the least.  Thanks a bunch
19:38 < kfries_> Where can I put my patch so other don't have to suffer the learning pains I did?
19:43 < koan> you can send it to the t2 mailing list
