Build from Source

• First, I assume you have the knowledge on cross-compiling and related toolchains.

• Download the mainline kernel of the same series as loongson-sources, without any patch level.

For example, if you want to build loongson-sources-3.15.3, you should download Linux 3.15.0 from kernel.org.

• Copy patches directory to the root directory of the kernel.

• Run the ./patches/patch-it shell script to patch the kernel.

• copy ./patches/config to the root directory, rename it to .config

• make (you should setup the cross-toolchains correctly)

• You're done. You can use the ./patches/packaging.sh to generate a tarball if you want.
