make not working when recompiling kernel

[woodyak]

I'm trying to upgrade my kernel. When I attempt to do a "make config" I get ***No rule to make target 'config'. Stop.

I've tried make menuconfig and make xconfig and I get the same message. Any ideas? :confused:

The only thing I can think of is make sure you are in the correct directory. That is the top level directory of the source code (in my case /usr/src/linux).

It should contain a file called Makefile. This file is where the command "make" gets all of its information on what to do.

That did the trick. I was in the wrong directory. Thanks. :)
