 Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2004 7:57 pm Post subject: Menuconfig Script Not Working |
 |
|
| I type "make menuconfig" and it says no rule or scrip for "make". I'm using Gentoo-dev-sources. Sounds like a big issue if the coders forgot their make script! Any ideas? |

Did you make sure that /usr/src/linux is linked to the source folder?
Did you cd into /usr/src/linux then run the command?

I have heard of people doing so but have not do that myself. I would think you could download the package and untar it, configure,make etc.. But the best way to know would be to check out the readme included with it...

If you want an unpatched 2.6 kernel (currently 2.6.7), then do this.
| Code: | | # emerge development-sources |

in vanilla-sources who is in portage there is not the kernel 2.6 series (that means if you want it you should dowload it and compile....).....you could try gentoo-dev-sources while making
| Code: | | emerge /usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r6.ebuild |
.......

Just do this:
| Code: | cd /usr/src
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.7.tar.bz2
tar xjf linux-2.6.7.tar.bz2
ln -s linux-2.6.7 linux
cd linux
make menuconfig
make
make modules_install
make install |
Same old standard way of doing it. Portage is not necessary for compiling kernels, although I have recently switched back to gentoo dev sources. Seem to cause no problems like they did when 2.6 first came out, and they have the bootsplash patch already included, so I don't have to screw with it.
good luck on your install.

In case you guys are wondering,
| Code: | | # emerge vanilla-sources |
gets you a 2.4 kernel with no added patches, and
| Code: | | # emerge development-sources |
gets you a 2.6 kernel with no added patches.
Downloading the source yourself also works, but portage is more convenient.  |
