cannot execute make menuconfig

[nopri]

Hello !
Anyone can help me , i can't do make menuconfig, i'm using rh62, installed as kde workstation...

Are you in /usr/src/linux (or wherever you installed the kernel source) when you try to execute that command? Is the kernel source even installed?

What is the error message you recieve when you type "make menuconfig"?

[nopri]

i think yes....

[nopri]

i didn't remember exactly,
but i think it said no rule or whatever then .stop.

[freaker]

your trying as root... right?

freaker :cool:

[nopri]

yap..

[Gaccm]

'no rule' errors are caused when the makefile doesn't list the thing that u want to make. Did you spell it correctly?

[nopri]

i typed

make menuconfig -> failed
make config -> failed
make xconfig -> failed

i've tried in most folder named *linux*, *src*, ...

... :)

First things first....

1. You downloaded the Kernel Source??
2. You are root??
3. You copied it over to /usr/src??
4. You untar'd it inside /usr/src??
5. You cd'd to /usr/src/linux??
6. You typed "make mrproper"??
7. You then typed "make menuconfig"??

Hope this helps.


If you didn't follow these steps then you won't get it to work
