Kernel compile error

I am having trouble compiling my kernel on Slackware 13.37. I spent a few hours on Google trying to find a solution. Apparently I am the only one have this problem.

The error comes up when I attempt to run make menuconfig.

The kernel version this comes up on is 3.14.4

Code:

  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
fixdep: error fstat'ing depfile: scripts/basic/.fixdep.d: Invalid argument
make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 2
make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2

I solved the problem. I used the machine to cross compile for ARM and ended up messing up my /usr/include files. I just replaced that folder with a copy from another machine that has the same version of Slackware and compilers.

Might explain why you were the only one in the world ....

When I have problems that early in the process I generally just delete the entire tree and unwind the tarball again and watch for any messgaes. Glad you got it sorted.
