Compilation prob
Hi there,
I don't know if this te right place to ask this question, but I'll try
anyway :)
I am having a little trouble compiling the new Kernel. I did everything
according to the manual ( HOWTO ) and after "make config", "make dep",
and "make clean" the kernel started compiling with "make zImage".
However during the process I get an error. This is what is sais:
Make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
as86 -0 -a o bootsect.o bootsect.s
Make[1]: as86: Command not found
Make[1]: *** [bootsect.o] Error 127
Make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
Make: *** [zImage] Error 2
I figured out what this means, but I don't have a clue as to what the
solution to this problem would be. Is it due to a corrupt Makefile ? How
do I get the command as86 ? Anyway I'm hoping anyone could help me.
I read the changes file in /usr/src/linux/Documentation about what
versions I need. I updated the packages I had but still the problem
occured. If I haven't got some of the packages, is that a problem ? I
didn't think so, but I just want to know for sure. The ones I have are
up to date.
I am using an 486/100 as linux box, with the latest Debian slink. The
kernel I am trying to compile is version 2.2.9.
Thnx, Menno
P.S. If I made some errors regarding my English, forgive me, I'm doing
the best I can :)
