hi,
i want to compile the new kernel linux-2.6.1,i tried the both commands"make config"and "make menuconfig" in the directory /usr/src/linux,but there is long list of errror messages one sample of the error messages
with the last two one are described bellow:
Scripts/fixdep.c:220:warning:iplicite declaration of function 'ntohl'.
make(1):***[scripts/fixdip]Error1
make:***[scripts/fixdip]Error2.
plz guide me to solve this problem.
hi linus
thanks for reply,i copied the new kernel linux-2.6.1.tar.gz to the /usr/src,before decompressing the new kernel i rename the old one to linux-old then,decompressed the new one and made a link "ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.1 /usr/src/linux"then,opened the "cd linux", and start to compile the new kernel with command "make menuconfig" also after i tried the "make config",the output is so long that passes the srceen so quickly, just i can read the last lines on the screen and don't know how to get the beging of the error messages that passed the screen, the end few lines are as bellow:
script/fixdip.c:391:'PROT_READ'undecleared (first use in this funcion)
script/fixdip.c:341:'MAp_PRIVATE'undecleared(first use in this funtcionscript/fixdip.c:325:warning:unused variable (st)
bash:command substitution:line1:unexpexted EOF while looking for matching"
bash:command looking for matching line3:syntax error:unexpected end of file.
bash:script/fixdip.c:341::no such file or directory.
make(1)***(script/fixdip)error1
bash:make(1) command not found.
I Think the module-init-tools-3.0-pre.tar.bz2 has not been installed before you compile the kernel 2.6
