x86_64 Target Specific Information

Status as of 12/06/2012

Kernel build works and runs - please test!

cd targets/x86_64
make

Prerequisites

• Installed native GCC compiler in $PATH (usual kernel dependencies)

Using the llvmlinux project

If you have not already done so, clone the llvmlinux project:

git clone http://git.linuxfoundation.org/llvmlinux.git

Now make the x86_64 target

cd llvmlinux/targets/x86_64
make

The Makefile will build all the prerequisites (LLVM, Clang), download the kernel, apply the patch for LLVM compatibility, copy a tested config file and build the kernel.

To use a prebuilt version of Clang, modify llvmlinux/config/make-kernel.sh

The config file for x86_64 is in llvmlinux/targets/x86_64/config_x86_64.

Testing the built kernel

cd llvmlinux/target/x86_64/src/linux
sudo make modules_install
sudo make install

Boots on x86_64 laptop currently.
