missing bzImage file
 

Hey,

I'm running SUSE linux 10.1 with v2.6.16.13 kernel. I'm trying to install ndiswrapper from scratch which i've downloaded from sourceforge. When I try to "make" file it gives me an error saying

***Missing file: arch/i386/boot/bzImage
***You need to run "make" before "make install"

anyone know whats up?

Other penguins only can say that your problem is:

***Missing file: arch/i386/boot/bzImage
***You need to run "make" before "make install"

unless you post more detailed description.

Happy penguins.

Well this is the exact message I get. I have the latest ndiswrapper decompressed into a temp folder, and i'm trying to compile it with the make command. Pretty much what is shown below is what I get. Don't know what else to tell you. Thanks in advance.

Stupid question, did you run make before you ran make install?

./configure &&
make

su

make install

Hi,

The command causing error looks like "kernel install" command!?!?!

It was long ago when I installed nidswrapper, so many things have been changed. And I always have custom kernel.

So, I only can make guess, apology...

what happens if:
1. you compile your custom kernel?
2. you make clean and make again with ndiswrapper.

Or anything else written in README file??

Happy penguins.

apologies for not helpful post.

What happens if you try to run make with out the added parameters.
