Hi.
I couldn't find the answer to my problem in the forums.

I'm instlaling lfs and all went well until it was time to install the kernel headers.
http://www.au.linuxfromscratch.org/v...06/kernel.html

When I run make mrproper in the kernel source dir I get:

---------------
I have no name!:/usr/src/linux-2.4.19# make mrproper
make: /bin/sh: Command not found
Èå
Èå
make: /bin/sh: Command not found
Èå
Èå
Makefile:252: arch//Makefile: No such file or directory
make: /bin/sh: Command not found
`ç
`ç
make: *** No rule to make target `arch//Makefile'. Stop.
---------------

Earlier, I ran the:
export CFLAGS="-O3 -march=<athlon-xp>" &&
CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS
command from:
http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hi...timization.txt
to optimize the building of the system. Now the value athlon-xp is not in the arch folder but it is an acceptable value listing here

I have followed all the commands in the manual of lfs carefully.
Thanks in advance.

Well, if there's a /bin/bash, you might want to
ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

Wow. I suck..



Thanks. =)

No worries ...

I've overlooked more obvious things than that
in the past, and most certainly will again ... ;)

/me suffers from myopia way too often :}

I'm instlaling lfs and all went well until it was time to install the kernel headers.
when I input the command "make mrproper",errors exits as:

root:/# make mrproper
make: *** No rule to make target `mrproper'. Stop.

I have entered the following command wishing to make do:

ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

but this seems no use!

what should i do?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,

First: You re-opened an ancient thread (2003) for this, next time start a new thread so it gets the attention it needs.

Did you unpack the linux kernel source, enter the directory and then run the make mrproper command?

PS: Do read the error message carefully, your error doesn't have anything to do with the error the OP posted:

Original by OP:
I have no name!:/usr/src/linux-2.4.19# make mrproper
make: /bin/sh: Command not found

Your error:
root:/# make mrproper
make: *** No rule to make target `mrproper'. Stop.

In this case creating the link (bash -> sh) doesn't hurt (should have been done already...), but in other cases you could do more damage by "just" executing/implementing commands.
