Kernel compile; missing packages, maybe?

designguy79 · 04-06-2004, 12:24 PM

Hi,

My friend installed Slack 9.1 off the CD and is asking that I do a kernel compile of the latest stable kernel release, 2.6.5. I am a "newbie" at kernel compiling, but am definitely more *nix informed than he is.

I have read many of the threads on compiling the kernel, but I am having problems finding an answer still. Hopefully I am not asking too much! :-)

I have no idea what packages he installed with the initial setup. I downloaded the kernel from a kernel.org mirror and stuck it in /usr/src/linux/linux-2.6.5.tar.gz and have a symbolic link to it named /usr/src/linux

After following the instructions on the sticky threads (and some other useful ones I found regading 2.6.5), I get stuck on the step of 'make oldconfig' or 'make config' (depending on what config file to use)

It looks like there are a bunch of files missing! I am assuming that there are some development packages that need to be installed first. Is there a tutorial or other documentation on this, or can someone answer?

I really appreciate the help!

Im hoping you typoed where you placed the file.. but I will go over it to be sure..

extract kernel-2.6.5.tar.gz to /usr/src/linux-2.6.5

in /usr/src

rm linux

ln -s linux-2.6.5 linux

cd linux

make mrproper
(copy your old config file to current directory... it is better to go from scratch)
make *config (* being the config of your choice)

make bzImage

make modules

make modules_install

cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.5
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.6.5

make lilo.conf or grub changes and add another kernel too boot (bzImage-2.6.5)

That is the basics to get compile a new kernel

Yes, I did mis-type the src directory... I extracted it to /usr/src/linux-

Okay, 'make mrproper' runs fine... I think, there is no output.

'make oldconfig' gives so many errors that I cannot scroll back far enough in PuTTY to see the beginning:

I know my problem is something glaring obvious. Thanks for the help!

trey85stang · 04-06-2004, 01:54 PM

what does make menuconfig give you?

designguy79 · 04-06-2004, 02:04 PM

Doesnt 'make menuconfig' require X?

I gave it a shot... looks like alot of the same errors...

Once again, I cannot scroll back far enough to read all the errors. Thanks for the help, trey85stang!

trey85stang · 04-06-2004, 06:45 PM

hmmm, thats odd indeed... you havent happened to of upgraded to gcc 3.3.3??

designguy79 · 04-06-2004, 06:48 PM

No upgrades... everything, except the kernel 2.6.5 source, is right off the Slack 9.1 CD.

Is there a list of packages that need to be installed for kernel compliation to work properly?

geekzen · 04-07-2004, 06:47 PM

Yes. ../linux/Documentation/Changes. In there is a list.

It sounds like an out of date gcc to me.... make sure you have (i think... check changes) 2.95.4

frandalla · 04-07-2004, 07:02 PM

Appears to me that your friend didn't install the standard C++ library... the make file isn't finding even stdio.h which is a really basic file for almost anything you wanna compile....
you should check for the glibc packages...

frandalla · 04-07-2004, 07:04 PM

ah... and the gcc is ok...I use the same distro and have the 2.6.4 installed

subgenius · 04-07-2004, 07:58 PM

The first missing file, "bits/types.h", is in the glibc package.

Is glibc installed?

Plus, to compile the text-based interface presented by "make menuconfig"
ncurses needs to be installed. Check that too. But glibc has to be there first.

frandalla · 04-07-2004, 08:14 PM

subgenius: well remembered about ncurses....he might not have that if he didn't install glibc
