Greg, now make complains it requires 'flex' ? aruna@debian:/media/aruna/linux-next/home/linux-5.16.10$ make -j$(nproc) DESCEND objtool HOSTCC scripts/genksyms/parse.tab.o LEX scripts/genksyms/lex.lex.c /bin/sh: 1: flex: not found make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.host:9: scripts/genksyms/lex.lex.c] Error 127 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... HOSTCC scripts/extract-cert make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:549: scripts/genksyms] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make: *** [Makefile:1181: scripts] Error 2 In the early days we used to sudo apt-get install build-essential and be done with it. I guess a lot has changed since then. Maybe someone should update the 'what tools do I need' section in https://kernelnewbies.org/KernelBuild ? Does anyone have a fix for make menuconfig error below please ? aruna@debian:/media/aruna/linux-next/home/linux-5.16.10$ make menuconfig HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/mconf /usr/bin/ld: scripts/kconfig/confdata.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE At some point am going to need menuconfig to work again so anyone else ever had this problem ? If you did 'how' did you resolve ? Thanks - Aruna > > thanks, > > greg k-h
