kernel upgrade


I am trying to upgrade kernel of my old firewall (Slackware 9.1, 2.4.22) to new kernel.
After deflating tar, and after I changed the link, I tried make menuconfig, make xconfig and make oldconfig, always obtaining this answer.

I am a user, trying to learn some more, so I tried to find limits.h file, and I found it.

HOSTCC scripts/fixdep
In file included from /usr/include/bits/posix1_lim.h:126,
from /usr/include/limits.h:144,
from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/3.3.1/include/limits.h:122,

make: *** [scripts/fixdep] Error 2


Can someone help me?

Thx

If I understand correctly, you wish to upgrade your firewall machine to a 2.6.x kernel - just guessing - is that correct?

Extract the tar file (tar.gz - I am guessing) to your preferred directory and then cd into the newly created directory. You can do this as user.
You should then be able to do make menuconfig or make xconfig if you are using kde.

Would it be asking too much for you to post the directory and command you issued to get these errors? Or would you rather we play "20 Questions" until someone guesses the answers?

But it might not be the right one (as in the right (a 2nd) limits.h *might* be somewhere else that it hasn't looked yet.

I don't know if that's the case with you. But I got driven nuts a bunch of times due to the exact issue I said (with different file(s) though, not limits.h)

/usr/src/linux

I suggest you search this forum using relevant terms also at google groups the group alt.os.linux.slackware

At that latter I know there's huge volumes of answered kernel compile questions (and info about two of _name-here_ files and it finding the wrong one until someone points it to the right one.

And, how late of a kernel can Slackware 9.1 run?
