 Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2007 3:42 am Post subject: kernel config error: expected specifier before acpi_integer |
 |
|
did a make menuconfig on linux-2.6.21-gentoo-r3
changed nothing except some sound card stuff
then make && make make && make modules_install
failed with:
In file included from arch/i386/kernel/acpi/cstate.c:16:
include/acpi/processor.h:88: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'acpi_integer'
include/acpi/processor.h:106: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'acpi_integer'

include/acpi/processor.h:274: warning: 'struct acpi_device' declared inside parameter list
include/acpi/processor.h:274: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want

make[1]: *** [arch/i386/kernel/acpi] Error 2
make: *** [arch/i386/kernel] Error 2
ACPI is not enabled in menuconfig, so what could be wrong? |

make && make? Why? Is that correct? Ok, save the .config file to somewhere, run make mrproper, put the .config file back into /usr/src/linux, then try a single 'make'. Oh, and check .config for any ACPI variables.

"make make"? Compile the kernel properly:
| Code: | | make clean bzImage modules modules_install |

sorry, that was a typo here, I did it right on my system:
| Code: | | make && make modules_install |
(which is how the handbook says to bo it by the way)
just for curiosity's sake, where is
| Code: | | make clean bzImage modules modules_install |
from?
now, back to the issue at hand, I re-ran menuconfig and determined that there is a second section within the power settings section that referrs to ACPI
I commented it out and all is good.
Thanks for the assistance. |

It's from:
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make help |
And finally getting reliable kernel recompilations  |

Really, all you need is "make clean && make", since make includes the vmlinux, modules, and bzImage targets. And, if it's just a new module or two, you probably don't need to run clean, but better safe and all that.

Wrong. "make modules_install" is needed, to:
| Quote: | | Install all modules to INSTALL_MOD_PATH (default: /) |
From "make help".
And don't forget the subtlety of recompiling the same kernel, rather than compiling a kernel for the first time. |

I was leaving out the install stuff. I'm only talking about the compilation.
