hi all!

made my kernel config as usual with make menuconfig, but after typing "make dep" i immediately get the following:

>gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o >scripts/mkdep scripts/mkdep.c
>In file included from /usr/include/bits/posix1_lim.h:126,
> from /usr/include/limits.h:144,
> from >/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/include/limits.h:117,
> from >/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/include/syslimits.h:7,
> from >/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/include/limits.h:11,
> from scripts/mkdep.c:35:
>/usr/include/bits/local_lim.h:36: linux/limits.h: No such file or >directory
>make: *** [scripts/mkdep] Error 1

any hint will make me happy and excited

greetings from germany,

read the Linux-Kernel HOWTO. You have to do some symlinks in /usr/include pointing to some dirs in the kernel source tree.
