posted message: Tried going through the information here and at CLFS. I'm stuck at extracting the include files from Linux headers. Using mingw and msys. URL in linux-headers.spec listed in tutorial doesn't seem up-to-date. Downloaded from https://www.kernel.org/ as per CLFS. make mrproper causes several errors. Anyone been able to successfully do this step with MinGW? If so, how did you accomplish it? Thanks.
