OK, I'm trying to upgrade my kernel on Linux for Windows system.
I have downloaded, untarred, and unzipped the new source. According to the doc I've found on the net, my next step is to "Configure the Kernel". It says to enter the command 'make config' When I do that, it says "make command/file not found" (or something like that). The doc says the script requires bash, so verify that bash is /bin/bash, /bin/sh or $BASH How can I verify this? Thanks for your help. |
it is the first line of the script
(something like #!/bin/sh, #!/bin/bash, etc.) |
make sure ure in the directoy u unpacked in before issuing configure or make commands. *if ure in X, a "make xconfig" will give u a config GUI to work with.
u can verify having bash by issuing "ls /bin/bash" or "find / -name bash -print". |
Just curious...
I was just wondering how you untarred and unzipped without using the BASH shell? If you did it in a 'dos' like window then you will be using it already (although there are different shells, BASH is the most common).

Path
Anyone knows how to set the PATH to include /usr/local/bin ?
|
If you are using BASH it would be
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin |
bash shell and the make command
What distribution are you using? I had a similiar problem under Mandrake 8.0 until I installed the developers packages, which added the make command.

Thanks All
I have come to the conclusion that I would not be able to do anything "worthwhile" with my current version of Linux.
The version I had is called "Linux for Windows" by Mandrake or LNX4WIN. It was a partionless install and I think it is basically just a demo. I didn't have the "make command" installed in that version. I found out that I had to download it. But before that, I found several other "issues" with this distro so I decided to ditch it and picked up a standard version of RH 7.1 Thanks for the help! |
