Re: Knoppix Remastering (on 64-bit host) with VMware Player

[Martin Duschek <martin.duschek@gmx.de>]

Hello,

I myself am currently trying to recompile the knoppix kernel in vmware 
with additional support for ipsec.

I'm using Knoppix 4.0.2. Although I haven't touched the kernel yet, I 
will get following error when trying to execute "make menuconfig" for 
the standard kernel.

root@0[linux]# LC_ALL=en make menuconfig
scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/i386/Kconfig
arch/i386/Kconfig:36: can't open file "init/Kconfig"
make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 1
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

The pre-installed kernel tells me it has the version 2.6.12.

When I try to do the same with the newest kernel 2.6.15 from 
www.kernel.org, "make menuconfig" will return this:

root@0[linux]# LC_ALL=en make menuconfig
 HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
In file included from /usr/include/sys/socket.h:35,
                from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:24,
                from /usr/include/arpa/inet.h:23,
                from scripts/basic/fixdep.c:115:
/usr/include/bits/socket.h:304:24: asm/socket.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1
make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2

Does anyone have a clue as to where the error could be?

Thanks alot in advance

Martin
