kernel compiling error

geletine · 04-03-2006, 02:12 PM

allix@allix:/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.1$ make oldconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
scripts/basic/fixdep.c:375: fatal error: opening dependency file scripts/basic/.fixdep.d: Permission denied
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1
make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2
allix@allix:/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.1$

I know its to do with permissons, will i be expecting some more errors?
If so how can i resolve it, i don;t want to compile the kernel as root

nx5000 · 04-03-2006, 02:21 PM

Code:

root@allix:/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.1# chown -R allix:allix .

or better put allix in group src

Code:

addgroup src

add allix in it:

Code:

addgroup allix src

and do the chown like this:

Code:

allix@allix:/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.1$ chown -R allix:src .

But my first line is ok, this later method is just for having a group of user able to compile

You're right , don't compile with root, if something bad happens (rm -rf .* ,...), you're dead.
It's exactly why make (done as user) doesn't call make install directly (done as root)

geletine · 04-03-2006, 03:19 PM

unfortunately i am using a slackware based system with groupadd instead of addgroup
I did the following

addgroup src
then i added my name to the group

then i recieve...

allix@allix:/etc$ cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.1
allix@allix:/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.1$ chown -R allix:src .
chown: `allix:src': invalid group
allix@allix:/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.1$ chown -R src:allix .
chown: `src:allix': invalid user
allix@allix:/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.1$ chown -R allix:src .

chown: `allix:allix': invalid group
allix@allix:/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.1$

What should i do next?

geletine · 04-03-2006, 04:42 PM

I manged to select what i want to install
now when i compile it i get this error message

Great news I am posting this with the new 2.6.16.1 kernel but the nvidia drivers won;t load

this is from the nvidia installer log

You must apply a patch to install the nVidia driver under kernel 2.6.16
see nVidia Linux Forum

Thanks it works, i don;t think there is support for composite though, i used the first patch on the list..

I have run into this problem now

So let it be written. So let it be done.
Activating IPv4 packet forwarding.

I have all the appropriate modules listed in rc.modules, how would i know if i compiled the modules while i was compiling the kernel? I remember selecting it..as <M>
what should i look for in .config? This is part of it..

geletine · 04-04-2006, 02:22 PM

i think that is why, also i compiled some modules and some into the kernel.
