I want to learn Linux Kernel and I've downloaded the latest kernel version. Now I want to configure Linux with make menuconfig and I'm receiving an error:

Arch/x86/Makefile:184 Compiler lacks asm-goto support...

The error is in Makefile file:

ifndef CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO

$(error Compiler lacks asm-goto support)

endif



Can somebody help me?

Not sure if this is "the" remedy, however to build things like the kernel and toolchains you usually need a build-essential package.

Whichever package manager your distribution contains can help you to determine if you have it installed, and also can help you to install it or update it, if you need to do that.

For building the kernel, I'm not sure you need anything beyond that package.

Moving your question to the kernel forum to gain it some better exposure.

You should tell forum members what version of the kernel you're trying to build, where you got it from, and what distribution+version you are running your build on. Also inform members as to whether you are building this kernel to run on an i386 architecture, or something else, such as ARM.

Could you please post the last 20 or so lines of the compile, and what rtmistler requested.

Andreas,

Thank you for the suggestions. Ive cross-compiled the current parallella-linux kernel and works with the e16-headless bitfile.

BR,
Claudiu
