make xconfig
 

hi,

i ve a Makefile in the build directory of my linux source tree. It has defined targets, xconfig and menuconfig, yet when I say

make xconfig : I get the following error:
make: *** No rule to make target `xconfig'. Stop.

any pointers?? I urgently need to do this!

Thank you!

And you're in that directory? If so, your makefile may be corrupted. Try re-extracting the sources.

is there any other possibility? cus i m very sure my makefile is not corrupted--

and yes i m in that directory..the build directory with all the Makefiles in it..

You should be in the top level source directory. The Makefile there does NOT contain the xconfig target, but instead includes other makefiles that contain all the targets.

hey,

so i m now in the linux dir and it give me this error:

Unable to find the QT installation. Please make sure that the
* QT development package is correctly installed and the QTDIR
* environment variable is set to the correct location.
*

You'll need to install those dependencies before using the xconfig installer. You'll need ncurses-dev for menuconfig, if you want that as well.

so how do i install it?

i m using Debian linux--and i thought the debian page says that this package should already be installed..

where will I find it if it is already installed?

ok i installed it using apt-get install libqt etc

i then pointed the QTDIR to /usr/lib/qt4 directory

i still get the same error:

Unable to find the QT installation. Please make sure that the
* QT development package is correctly installed and the QTDIR
* environment variable is set to the correct location.


Any pointers?

thanks

It's probably called something like qt4-dev or qt4-dev-tools, available from apt.
