How to get Nethunter Kernel Builder?

[pravin99]

I've been trying to develop a nethunter kernel for my mobile phone according to the guides given in the Kali Documentation.In patching the kernel section, the documentation guides using Nethunter Kernel Builder but there is no instructions on how to get the kernel builder,Can anyone tell me how to get the nethunter kernel builder?

Sorry for that. I'm working on that part of the documentation at this very moment :-)

cd into your kernel source directory and execute:


git clone https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/nethunter/build-scripts/kali-nethunter-kernel
cd kali-nethunter-kernel
./build.sh

the "config" file has the default configuration. Look but don't touch ;-) To change any of those settings, create a file called "local.config" and overwrite any of those parameters.
Best to pick one of those "local.config.example" files that comes the closest to your requirements and copy that across to "local.config".

Just give it a crack and come back here if you have any questions.

Hello @Re4son,
I'm having trouble with build.sh . Most of the menu selections result in an error:

/build.sh: line 369: cd: ~/android_kernel_oppo_msm8974/arch/arm64/configs: No such file or directory
This is then followed by 88 options.

I have checked for that path, and sure enough, there is no arm64 folder inside arch.

I am trying to compile for a OnePlus 1 under LineageOS 16.0.

Any clues as to shat to do?

[aaronouthier]

Disreagrd, I figured it out. Archetecture is set by the $ARCH variable in local.config . I didn't have that defined, so it used the default from the main config file.

It is fixed now.

what should we do after building our kernel?

[morty luthier]

hello, i too have visited the page https://www.kali.org/news/kali-nethunter-updates/ , to find the "linux kernel builder' but there were no links . Also this section "On the topic of documentation; the documentation for the kernel builder is yet to be completed but we plan to finish that within 7 days of this blog post going up."

Shouldn't it be up by now? i would really like to try to learn and build linux kernel for nethunter. Please help.. thanks.
