 |
|
So I was compiling a new kernel (2.6.27-gentoo-r7) and I got this error while it was building the .o files:
| Code: | /usr/src/linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r7/firmware/Makefile:136: target `firmware/the.gen.S' given more than once in the same rule.
/usr/src/linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r7/firmware/Makefile:136: target `firmware/in.gen.S' given more than once in the same rule.
/usr/src/linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r7/firmware/Makefile:136: target `firmware/the.gen.S' given more than once in the same rule.
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `with', needed by `firmware/the.gen.o'. Stop.
make: *** [firmware] Error 2 |
Any clue what would cause this? I thought it was because I had CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD enabled, but I disabled the option and still got the error.
UPDATE: checked bugs, which led me to try enabling CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL, but that also had no effect.
If the .config file or emerge --info will help, let me know and I'll post them.
UPDATE 2:
weirdest thing...
I was looking at information on index funds earlier (yes, index funds...completely unrelated to gentoo). I just ran make menuconfig and I found some information on the S & P 500 in the section on generic device drivers. When I originally ran make oldconfig or make menuconfig, I must have accidentally pasted some of the text I was reading in the .config file. Once I removed the extra text, the kernel compiled just fine.
