Trying to install a Linux kernel patched to run qemu and kvm on the Samsung XE303C12-A01US Chromebook...Episode 1

Hello.

A lot of years ago I bought the Samsung XE303C12-A01US Chromebook. I would like to install and boot a linux distro through the sd card that has a kernel that supports qemu and kvm. I've found this old tutorial :

https://community.arm.com/arm-community-blogs/b/architectures-and-processors-blog/posts/virtualization-on-the-chromebook-using-kvm-tool

and I tried to follow it as long as I could. This is what happened :

UPDATE :

I've fixed the previous error following these suggestions :

https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M4-bsp/issues/4

basically I've edited the files dtc-lexer.lex.c and dtc-parser.tab.c

Found the line 'YYLTYPE yylloc' and changed it to 'extern YYLTYPE yylloc;'

Unfortunately later I've got a new error :

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- uImage dtbs

make: *** [Makefile:816: init] Errore 2

as suggested I've installed gcc-9 with : sudo apt install gcc-9 and then : sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-9 9

now my gcc is 9 :

gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 9.4.0-5ubuntu1) 9.4.0

but the error is not gone.

So,I tried installing gcc 7 and 8,adding :

deb [arch=amd64] archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal main universe

to /etc/apt/sources.list

and

ran: apt update; apt install g++-7 g++-8

and then :

update-alternatives --config gcc
Sono disponibili 2 scelte per l'alternativa gcc (che fornisce /usr/bin/gcc).

Selezione    Percorso        Priorità Stato

2            /usr/bin/gcc-9   9         modalità manuale

pressing 1 and : make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- uImage dtbs

but :

/tmp/cc24rqCN.s: Assembler messages:

make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:309: init/main.o] Errore 1

the error is still there.

update-alternatives --config gcc

I have even installed gcc-7 with the command : apt install gcc-7,but it does not show as a choice :

chosen 2 and tried again : make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- uImage dtbs

same error.
