Hi guys,

I'm trying to compile a new kernel (2.6.4) in a system with Sid, and I get the following error:


d4500:/usr/src/linux# make xconfig
make[1]: `scripts/fixdep' is up to date.
SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.h
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o

make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf.o] Error 127
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
d4500:/usr/src/linux#

Any ideas???

Thanks

PS. Make menuconfig does work.....

I ran make first, then make xconfig

what does make do by itself???

I apologize, make creates links for make config to run, but I did not read that make menuconfig works, so that is not the case.


Did you apt-get install libqt3-dev make gcc bin86 libc6-dev kernel-package module-init-tools ???

install g++ too just in case

I have all those packages you guys suggested installed. Any more ideas???

it looks like it's g++ that's throwing the error.
check scripts/kconfig/qconf.o to see what it's looking for.

You could start the Darwin Debian Users Group and ask everyone that turns up.....
:P

try in console g++ -v and post it

Yeah, clearly you don't have g++, you just need to go get it.

As for running "make" before running "make xconfig," that is utter nonsense. It does not "create links required for make config to run." Disregard that advice. (why on earth did you post that?)

which g++
apt-get install g++

-at one point with kernel 2.6 through 2.6.3 I had to use make before using make xconfig
-I did see that he is able to run make menuconfig so I told him to disregard using make

cheers

after that it works, :|

Sorry I didn't respond any sooner. Anyway, after installing g++ the problem went away . Thank you all

I love this place - installed Qt so I could xconfig a 2.6.3 for myself and got the evil error 127. I googled for [scripts/kconfig/qconf.o] Error 127 and fell right in this thread's lap. You guys are my new best friends.... If installing g++ is the fix, that is...

Remember, everyone else is just like you -- different.
