I'm having two problems with the latest kernel. I've never tried compiling
the kernel from the Mandrake source but I read through the documentation in
the Mandrake reference manual and there weren't any surprises there.
However, when I tried to 'make xconfig' I get the following:
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14mdk/scripts'

gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o tkgen.o tkgen.c
gcc -o tkparse tkparse.o tkcond.o tkgen.o
cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk
./tkparse < ../arch/i386/config.in >> kconfig.tk
3rdparty/lirc/Config.in: 11: can't handle dep_bool/dep_mbool/dep_tristate
condition
make[1]: *** [kconfig.tk] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14mdk/scripts'
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
I get past this by using 'make menuconfig' instead. I change only the
processor type to Athlon (I wanted to start simple and make sure it works
with minimal changes). 'make dep' completes successfully. I then run 'make
clean bzImage modules'. It fails with the following:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14mdk/kernel'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `modules'.
