 |

when typing :
answer is
| Quote: | make : No rule to make target
/include/linux/config.h needed(..) |
i have of course emerged system & gentoo-sources, so i
would think that the header files should be in place, or what?
TIA
btw: which tool do I need in order to download a file(ORACLE) from an http url, from my commandline?

not sure about the kernel compile
but as for your downloading a file from a command prompt you would use something like links or lynx, in the form of
lynx http://www.oracle.com/file.whatever
hope this helps |

Have you configured the kernel for your hardware with 'make config', 'make menuconfig', or 'make xconfig'?

I thought maybe include/linux/config.h did not exist because you had not yet completed configuring your kernel.

Go back over install instructions, it is usually the obvious we miss.
Are you in correct directory /usr/src and have the correct (dot) config file ?
As root ?
Clarify what is happening.
If you have the "Makefile," followed instructions to the letter, make dep would start.
Check symbolic link of /usr/src/linux it should point to kernel version in use
Check out " man wget" for download assistance.

Biggest problem to find solutions, is asking the wrong questions |

to compile the kernel do this:
| Code: |
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
# make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
|
You will then have a bzImage in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/
Then:
| Code: |
# cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
{make sure /boot is mounted}
|
Then edit menu.lst accordingly,
hope this helps
