Kernel compiling - zipslack
 

After weeks of trying to get HostAP working with my computer i have deleted it all and started again.

I am going to ensure everything is working, step by step. starting with a compile of the kernel.

It doesnt, i cannot compile a kernel - just heaps of errors about missing libraries.

Question:

Using Zipslack on an OLD toshiba 486 laptop, 2Gb hdd, 24Mb ram.

Any help would be great.

You probably need also atleast bin86, libc-dev and libncurses-dev. (Well, I don't know that are the development packages packaged as a separate package or part of the binary package (is there glibc and glibc-dev separately)).

What is the first error you encounter while running 'make menuconfig' ?
