i've just done a fresh install of slackware 10.2 and when i try to compile a new 2.6 kernel, it does this:

Code:

CC      init/main.o
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  UPD     include/linux/compile.h
  CC      init/version.o
In file included from init/version.c:9:
include/linux/compile.h:6:28: missing terminating " character
make[1]: *** [init/version.o] Error 1
make: *** [init] Error 2

close to the beginning of the compile. what is this? i've never had this happen before and i've compiled my 2.6 kernel plenty of times on slackware.

..never put backslashes at the end of your hostname, it escapes the quotation mark in compile.h when ur trying to compile stuff.
