    Kernel Compilation

    Dear All,

    I am new to this forum. I am making some changes to tcp source code in Linux 2.6 kernel in Fedora Core 2. My doubt regarding compilation is the following.

    1. After making chages, I could sucessfully compile the kernel. However It is taking very long time. Is there any way to compile the networking code alone so that the compilation will be faster.
    2. Also is there any way of newly compiled kernel to run without rebooting the machine.

    Your reply will be very helpful. Kindly respond. Thanks in advance for your time.
    Regards

    HAve you tried building it as a module? You won't need to reboot or rebuild everything just the modules

    Kernel Compiling - Modules

    Hi Juan

    Yes I know building modules in Linux 2.6. But I am not sure whether I can make TCP code as a kernel loadable module.

    Regards

    Hi vijay,

    I am working the following files in /usr/src/linux-2.6.5/net/ipv4/.

    tcp_input.c, tcp_ipv4.c I just made some changes to these files. My question is in order to reflect these changes, should i need to compile the entire kernel or is there any other way.

    Regards
