急问cygwin下的问题

kkk8199

我想请问各位大虾,在cygwin下解压linux内核的时候,由于linux内核中有同名的文件(大小写不一样, window不区分大小),解压后会出现文件丢失,怎么处理了?丢失文件后的linux内核编译能行吗?

　　一般而言，是可以编译的。

　　因为特别重要的文件，一般是不会这么操作的

　　可能的是说明性质的文件。

　　你可以放心编译，出了问题再来找我。

You can not compile the kernel when you are missing some files of the kernel source tree.

I do know there is a registry link which you can modify on Windows Storage Server R2 to let the windows kernel case sensitive but I can not rembember it now, and also I am not sure if it will work. You can find the infomation in NFS help files on WSS R2.

Case insensitive under Microsoft windows is not the only problem you will encounter.

The building system you are using (say cygwin) is not designed to compile linux kernel under Microsoft windows.

Nowadays the built system assume much more about the underlying system, for example it assume you can create symlink, something you cannot do in MSYS, and probably other things.

So you will probably not be able to compile the linux kernel on Microsoft windows unless you modify the build system a lot. And this is not a easy job.

谢谢你的回答,不过我发现丢失的文件不是些说明性的文件啊,有些丢失的文件是些头文件啊,例如IP filter的文件包括IPv4 和IPv6的.我等下试下编译下.
顺便问下,在cygwin下能制作根文件系统印象吗?/dev下的设备结点在windows下好象是快捷方式啊,烧到目标板后,打不开这些设备了.不知道怎么处理了?

thank you!Now,my job is to  compile linux kernel under Microsoft windows by cygwin,so I have to solve this problem,hehe .
