okay, i am now trying to compile a patched kernel (patched with mosix). i am going to put complete history of what i've done from first installing debian 2.20 from disk. i am using the mosix patch from apt-get which is for a 2.4.17 kernel, so i am using a 2.4.17 kernel. i am following the HOWTO located at http://howto.ipng.be/openMosix-HOWTO/x364.htm i installed from disk, using 3.0 disks - then use http to install base system. all necessary parts are installed, such as network card. not running tasksel or dselect. very basic system. Now the following instructions i can follow word for word on my machines and they will all successfully run: #apt-get install kernel-patch-mosix #apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.17 #bunzip2 /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.17.tar.bz2 #tar -xf /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.17.tar #gunzip /usr/src/kernel-patches/i386/mosix/patches.2.4.17 #cp /usr/src/kernel-patches/i386/mosix/patches.2.4.17 /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.17 #cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.17 #patch -p0 < patches.2.4.17 #apt-get install gcc #apt-get install make #cd /usr/src #ln -s kernel-source-2.4.17 linux #make oldconfig --> (this configs almost everything, asks maybe 2 questions, which i select as default) now - here's where things go bad, i try the make dep --------------------- ASS001:/usr/src/linux# make dep gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/mkdep scripts/mkdep.c scripts/mkdep.c:33: ctype.h: No such file or directory scripts/mkdep.c:34: fcntl.h: No such file or directory In file included from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/include/syslimits.h:7, from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/include/limits.h:11, from scripts/mkdep.c:35: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/include/limits.h:117: limits.h: No such file or directory scripts/mkdep.c:36: stdio.h: No such file or directory scripts/mkdep.c:37: stdlib.h: No such file or directory scripts/mkdep.c:38: string.h: No such file or directory scripts/mkdep.c:39: unistd.h: No such file or directory scripts/mkdep.c:41: sys/fcntl.h: No such file or directory scripts/mkdep.c:42: sys/mman.h: No such file or directory scripts/mkdep.c:43: sys/stat.h: No such file or directory scripts/mkdep.c:44: sys/types.h: No such file or directory ---------------------------- why are those files not there, and why are they asking for them? and as a note, i also tried #make config and spent an hour going through the whole list, answering default to almost all of them (since they were either correct, or i didn't know what it was) and ended up getting the same missing files.
is there anything wrong with this process? is there some small detail which most people assume, but i happen to not know from this HOWTO. I also looked at the README in /usr.src.kernel-source-2.4.17 and it follows pretty much the same path. get the sources, unzip, copy to patch to kernel source folder, patch, make config, make dep... -rp -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
