Any chance of you trying the full tarball?

That's what this came from :(



I've got 2.4.21 running fine on a P-4 machine and also now on an AMD-800.


Sound is broken on the AMD machine but I'm working on that now. No other problems that I see.

Yea, i built it just fine on a separate box earlier today. This is the 2nd box that i'm attempting, and there's no love at all.

After some digging it appears that the problem is that the $TOPDIR
variable (referenced in various Makefiles) is never getting set and/or
passed somewhere.  $TOPDIR looks like it should be /usr/src/linux, and
if i do 'export TOPDIR=/usr/src/linux', then 'make mrproper' completes
successfully.  Alternatively, if i just add 'TOPDIR=/usr/src/linux' to
the top of /usr/src/linux/Documentation/DocBook, 'make mrproper' also
completes successfully.

Unfortunately, this variable craziness just continues to propogate
down hill, as when i do 'make xconfig' :

[EMAIL PROTECTED] linux]# make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21/scripts'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/src/linux-2.4.21/arch//config.in', needed by `kconfig.tk'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21/scripts'
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2


Its blowing up here because the $ARCH variable isn't getting passed
either.  Now i could play the game of hacking that variable into place
too, but it just continues to spiral down.

So i'm really wondering what the hell is broken here?
