 |
|
I was running kernel 3.10.7-r1 and im trying to update to 3.11.5. What ive done is taken the 3.11.5 kernel directory and moved it into /usr/src, I linked /usr/src/linux to the 3.11.5. I added symlink to my use flag in /etc/portage/make.conf. I try running make menuconfig in /usr/src/linux and this is what i get:
| Code: |
/bin/sh: /usr/src/linux-3.11.5/scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/check-lxdialog.sh: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: /usr/src/linx-3.11.5/scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/check-lxdialog.sh: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.c', needed by 'scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o'. Stop. Make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

| What do you mean you have taken the 3.11.5 kernel directory and moved it into /usr/src? If you install the sources via Portage, they were already placed under /usr/src. If you are installing them through some other means, there is no need to put them under /usr/src. |

I downloaded the 3.11.5 kernel from online and placed it in /usr/src. Im not installing from portage. But what about the errors im getting? |

If you don't install the kernel sources with Portage the symlink USE flag in make.conf will do nothing. You may miss some needed packages like ncurses for the make menuconfig command work. Try to enter in the real sources directory instead of the symlink linux just in case.
Better and in the handbook is to use the gentoo-sources from Portage. These are the default sources and will install all dependancies you need to configure the kernel.
