<title>Installation of the kernel</title>
<para>Building the kernel involves a few steps&mdash;configuration,
compilation, and installation. Read the <filename>README</filename> file
in the kernel source tree for alternative methods to the way this book
configures the kernel.</para>
<para>Prepare for compilation by running the following command:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="pre">make mrproper</userinput></screen>
<para>This ensures that the kernel tree is absolutely clean. The
kernel team recommends that this command be issued prior to each
kernel compilation. Do not rely on the source tree being clean after
un-tarring.</para>
<para>There are several ways to configure the kernel options. Usually,
This is done through a menu-driven interface, for example:</para>
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>make ARCH=x86 CROSS_COMPILE=$LFS_TGT- menuconfig</userinput></screen>
<variablelist>

<term><command>CROSS_COMPILE=$LFS_TGT-</command></term>
<listitem>
<para>Build the kernel with Binutils and GCC built in
<xref linkend='chapter-cross-tools'/>.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><command>menuconfig</command></term>
<listitem>
<para>This launches an ncurses menu-driven interface. For other
(graphical) interfaces, type <command>make help</command>.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>(optional) <parameter>LANG=&lt;host_LANG_value&gt; LC_ALL=</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>This establishes the locale setting to the one used on the
host. This may be needed for a proper menuconfig ncurses interface
line drawing on a UTF-8 linux text console.</para>
<para>If used, be sure to replace
<replaceable>&lt;host_LANG_value&gt;</replaceable> by the value of
the <envar>$LANG</envar> variable from your host. You can
alternatively use instead the host's value of <envar>$LC_ALL</envar>
or <envar>$LC_CTYPE</envar>.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<note>
<para>A good starting place for setting up the kernel configuration is to
run <command>make ARCH=x86 CROSS_COMPILE=$LFS_TGT- defconfig</command>. This will set the base
configuration to a good state that takes your target system architecture
into account.</para>
</note>
<para>Read <xref linkend='ch-bootable-kernel'/> for more information
about kernel configuration. You should enable or disable some kernel
configuration options now:</para>
