Will building older versions of the linux kernel on newer versions of Ubuntu work?










0















Let's say that I need to port an older version of the Linux kernel (3.2 for example) to a custom board. I'll be cross-compiling from a Ubuntu environment.



Will I need to be running a certain version of Ubuntu to successfully build a certain version of the kernel, or will I be fine with any version of Ubuntu?

    The result of cross compiling is generally not dependent on the OS that you do the compiling on.

    you can cross compile required kernel on any version provided you have all required pre-requisites (toolchain, etc) to build the same.
