2.6.8.1 strange kernel compile problem

Haniblectre · 09-05-2004, 05:44 AM

I recently installed Slack 10.0. When I type in make menuconfig or make xconfig, etc, I get this error in the console:

/usr/src/linux# make menuconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/split-include
In file included from /usr/include/linux/errno.h:4,
from /usr/include/bits/errno.h:25,
from /usr/include/errno.h:36,
from scripts/basic/split-include.c:26:
/usr/include/asm/errno.h:4:31: asm-generic/errno.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/split-include] Error 1
make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2

Any ideas?

Update: I just tried compiling 2.6.7, and I get the exact same error.

This is a fresh install of slack, so I'm thinking there may be something seriously corrupted.

Check your glibc package with the requerid by the kernel and make sure it's correctly installed.

try make a link to ur kernel source's asm-generic in ur /usr/include/
i had a similar problem but a "ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1/include/asm-generic /usr/include/asm-generic" solved everything

I updated Linux 2.4.26 to Linux 2.4.29 (by TGZ), when i do a 'make', appens the same thing, i tryed make a link from /usr/src/linux-2..4.29/include/asm-generic to /usr/include/asm-generic, and appened the same thing

Anyone know what is the resolution?
