Not able to configure the linux kernel
Hi
I have some servers i have to configure and compile the linux kernel, but im not able to run "make menuconfig" or similar. When i run this command i get a bunch of errors saying that there was an error on line 532 in that file and an error on line 314 on other file. I know it would help with some logs or messages from the erros, but i dont have that. I have tried different kernel versions, but i the "make menuconfig" scripts just dont want to run and just gives med the errors explained above. The system i have setup is a debian 4.0 etch system (stable) which only has the "standard system" installed, so its a text-based version of linux. I only choose "standard system" at installation time, because i wanted to just have a minimal system and add other software needed at a later time. I would really appericiate help on this problem. thanks. |
you probably need to install ncurses. does make config work?
|
make config does not work, i get a bunch of errors when i execute it.
|
You always can edit the .config file by hand, it's just a textfile what make menuconfig etc. edits.
After that, go ahead with the regular build. |
Ok, but i want to be able to run the "make config" utility.
|
I think i got it working now, a simple install of libncurses5-dev did the job and make config starts up fine now. Thanks a lot AceofSpades19 :)

I knew that was the problem :D

frenchn00b, you should make them for more then one distribution
|
Hi, I can unfortunately not make it available for the other distros, since I am crap in linux and have just few experience with debian and very little with other distros. :(
