|
Ok may be its a good to open a thread after a while of living with this.I am trying to upgrade my desktop from 2.6.25-r8 to something above with no luck...
| Quote: | # make && make modules_install
CC kernel/configs.o
kernel/configs.c:60: error: expected ',' or ';' before 'static'
kernel/configs.c:71: error: 'ikconfig_read_current' undeclared here (not in a function)
make[1]: *** [kernel/configs.o] Error 1
make: *** [kernel] Error 2 |
Anyone faced similar issues.
P:S
Compile failures tested like 2 versions of gentoo-sources...so cant upgrade gentoo-sources.
I would not mind providing more informations...thanks.

Can you do a make menuconfig or make xconfig? Since you're talking gentoo-sources I'm assuming that you at least go in and check to make sure that you are building everything you want/need. That whole make && make modules_install is a wee bit too automatic pilot for my taste. I usually go through the following discrete steps
make xconfig
(tweak options and save)
make bzImage
(set up /boot with .config system.map and copied bzimage/kernel-whatever)
make modules
make modules-install |

thanks...vaxbrat
Still fails with same errors....on make bzImage
... I normally do the lazzy way...here it goes:
| Quote: | cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r8/
cp ../linux-2.6.25-gentoo-r8/.config .
make menuconfig |
Exit the menuconfig, I get prompt for saving the changes I say yes...now .config (old) is included in the new upgrade with new options merged as well...ready to compile the new kernel
| Quote: | | make && make modules_install |
Done....only copying the image to the boot and reboot...
But this time its failing..en with source code errors... weard enough.. 
Edit:
Thats pretty quick info's...ofcourse simlink should be pointing to the new refer to the official guide for details
Edit:
that .config compiles fine with 2.6.25-gentoo-r8 which can be considered old kernel in this case.

decided to run vanilla-sources...en upgraded smoothly.So I am wondering should I open a bug, somebody with an idea...not really sure, but to my knowledge this is not user errors...as the message pretty clearly talks source code errors...but I can be wrong..so ill wait for 2 days then if nothing i will open a bug
cheers
