I have a question, I am trying to add some stuff, and make some programs that use some functions in the kernel. I was looking at the kernel and am able to understand what it does (with the functions and stuff) I get it, but, how do you know where the functions and data types and structures are that you want? I just don't know where to find everything that I need to code what I want. I can code it, that is no problem for me, its just the tracking it down. I haven't ever had something this big on my hands, and when I look at all the files, they make some sense, but it looks a bit confusing as to what does what, and where I should put what when I code it. Also, when I type make, I get the following errors. well. I got the error that there was no .config file, so I just created a blank, because I didn't want to deal with it. Do I have to write a file? if so, does someone know where I could get a template on how/where to? Also, upon compilation, will it compile for the computer I am on? I want it to be cross-compatible. Last thing. If I do get a successfull make, it won't replace the current kernel will it? Thanks, Tyler Littlefield.
