Build kernel headers and install Virtualbox (x86)

[tcagle]

I am getting the following error message:

cc1: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-fstack-protector-strong’
make[3]: *** [kernel/bounds.s] Error 1
make[2]: *** [prepare0] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory /home/tim/kernel' make[1]: *** [debian/stamp/conf/kernel-conf] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory/home/tim/kernel'
make: *** [debian/stamp/conf/minimal_debian] Error 2
Failed to create a ./debian directory: at /usr/bin/make-kpkg line 984.

This happens at this step:

$ make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot kernel_image kernel_headers

I have a HP Pavillion Chromebook 14. The uname give this info...

$ uname -a
Linux localhost 3.4.0 #1 SMP Thu Jul 24 15:16:06 PDT 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks for any help .... Tim C.

So, depending on your gcc you may need to edit /usr/src/kernel/arch/x86/Makefile
Line 78 change "stackp-y := -fstack-protector-strong" to stackp-y := -fstack-protector-all

If that doesn't work you can build your own newer gcc see #939

The makefile edit option seems to be allowing the build to proceed. I will
let you know if I have further issues. Thanks for the suggestions.

Got Win7 and the globalcache.com windows-only utility "ilearn,exe" working in my crouton/virtualbox now. This is a wonderful project thanks for all the obvious hard work that goes into it. I can work all the needed toolchain pieces for my openremote.org driven home automation stuff from my chromebook now!!!! Major kudos to everybody on this project. Please close this now non-issue.

Thanks for the feedback. I will add some extra info for building 3.4 kernel to the wiki
