Re: [9front] build iso from arm64

[william@thinktankworkspaces.com]

Thanks. I miss the obvious. 

I have another question. Looks like I need to add
an entry form arm64. But where is the kernel for arm64?

It can't be 9pc64 that is AMD, bcm is for pi i.e broadcom. I know 9pc64 is wrong but ran it anyways.

%.arm64.iso:
	@{
	objtype=arm64
	kernel=/n/src9/$objtype/9pc64
	mk $target.$pid.pc.iso
	mv $target.$pid.pc.iso $target
	}

/sys/lib/dist
cpu% mk /tmp/9front.$objtype.iso
@{
objtype=arm64
kernel=/n/src9/$objtype/9pc64
mk /tmp/9front.arm64.iso.60008.pc.iso
mv /tmp/9front.arm64.iso.60008.pc.iso /tmp/9front.arm64.iso
}
mk: don't know how to make '/n/src9/arm64/9pc64' in directory /sys/lib/dist
mk: @{ objtype=arm64 kernel=/n/src9/$objtype/9pc64 ...  : exit status=rc 60010: rc 60012: mk 60013: error

I went to /sys/src9/386 and kernel boot and a few other files exist for 386. I suspect I have
more leg work to do 

Is it /sys/src/9/kw or is it /sys/src/9/omap

I guess this is the next decision its an ARM Cortex-A53 

I guess I need set CONF and try running make in either of those directories. Then copy the kernel over.
