Error compiling kernel.

Royle · 08-24-2005, 09:11 PM

I'm trying to compile a custom kernel and I keep getting this error after running:

Code:

make-kpkg --initrd --revision=10.00.Custom kernel_image

I get this:

Code:

  CC [M]  drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-video.o
  CC [M]  drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-tvaudio.o
  CC [M]  drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-i2c.o
  CC [M]  drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-vbi.o
  CC [M]  drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-cards.o
include/asm/signal.h: In function `__gen_sigismember':

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8'

That was the last few lines. Anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it? Thanks in advance for your help.

Your problem is there.....either untic those options makeing sure you dont need them or make as "M" modules.
You can go back and edit by "make menuconfig" in /usr/src/linux directory and navigate to drivers section to find the cx88-cards.
Then recompile.

Just a comment, it is better if you do it like this "fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --revision=10.00.Custom kernel_image"

Where are this options? Thats what I thought I would have to do to get it to compile. But I didn't know where these options were.

Why would that be better

The fastest way of getting around your compilerproblems might be selecting

Code maturity level options -> select only drivers expected to compile cleanly

I believe it would be under video or video4linux that module is for a TV card.

Because you would not be root when compiling the kernel by using the fakeroot package of course you would have to be a member of the src group for it to work properly.

The same directory structure in the error is the same directory structure in "make menuconfig"(ncurses)
"make xconfig"(no ncurses).

Scrolldown to 4:3 Make menuconfig
Thats what will popup when you type make menuconfig
go through there to find the option related to the error.
