Build Kernel with LZMA Support

[Muhammad Ammar]

Hi,

I want to build a custom kernel with LZMA support. Is it possible now at
this stage. The kernel i want to rebuild is 2.6.35. If its possible what
steps should i follow?

Regards,

[Bruno Wolff III]

Phillip Lougher has some patches at:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/pkl/squashfs-lzma.git;a=summary

I don't know if they work as is to 2.6.35.
Another option would be to use whatever patches OpenWRT is using in their
LZMA support.

You'd probably want to start with the appropriate kernel srpm and add the
LZMA patches in. I haven't tested this to see how they work.
