Hey people.. I start to read a book about kernel, and want to make some changes to it, for study purpose. ue I think in edit it, an use qemu to test it with some minimal distribution installation.

So how people usually do?

That's really subjective...btw, i am not developer, but here's my "setup": - cscope plus vim for source code navigation. if I am lazy, I simply go to lxr.linux.no for online code browsing - plain qemu or qemu+kvm for running the kernel plus activating its gdb stub. Then hook gdb into it so I can freely stop kernel execution anywhere I like - of course, gcc as the compiler. - ccache, if you wanna to speed up repetitive compilation - "screen" tool running all of the above as its sessions :) -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
