i'm trying to install Getnoo on my Ultra 10, now i should compile the kernel (i emerged sparc-sources and also tried vanilla-sources)
everytime i try compiling i get an error like:
cannot stat 'something.o': no such file or directory
make[2]: *** [_modinst__] Error 1
(...)

so i tried to deactivate whatever something.o was, but next compile there were other modules not found, now almost everything is deactivated an it still shows errors...


anyone has an idea what's wrong?

I don't nor ever have used a sparc, but kernel compilation should be the same across platforms. if you're running a 2.6 kernel it builds the modules for you automatically simply by running

for sparc32
Code:
make && make modules_install

for sparc64
Code:
make && make image modules_install


if you are running a 2.4 kernel you have to give it a few steps one being a explicit command to make modules.

for sparc32
Code:
make dep && make clean vmlinux modules modules_install

forsparc64
Code:
make dep && make clean vmlinux image modules modules_install


Hope that helps you.

make dep && make clean vmlinux image modules modules_install was what i used...
