Help with make menuconfig for my kernel.

Royle · 01-09-2005, 12:27 PM

Ok, so I just installed my sources for kernel-sources-2.6.9 and when I first tried make menuconfig it said command not found.
So, I used apt-get install make.
Now when I try make menuconfig I get this:

Code:

mike:/usr/src/linux# make menuconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
/bin/sh: line 1: gcc: command not found
make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 127
make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.

Install GCC , the GNU compiler. It is needed to compile the kernel.

Oh my, what is wrong now? Thanks again in advance.

You need the kernel-headers package.

Hi,

Step 1. Go to Kernal directory path is below

#/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-5.EL-i686

Step 2. Run make menuconfig

#make menuconfig

Enjoy.

make menuconfig also requires ncurses headers, you may have to install the libncurses5-dev package.

I've used this guide to install several DEBIAN kernels with great success. Even though it is for ubuntu, all the rest is sound info. http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Kernel_Compilation_Dapper

For some reason, the debian.org guide was gutted recently. However, I found a copy of what it used to look like here. Section 7.1.1 is what I used to build my first Debian kernel.
