 |
|
I just finished configuring gentoo-sources 3.5 and when i issued the make && make modules_install command i get the following error:
| Code: | HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
***
*** Configuration file ".config" not found!
***
*** Please run some configurator (e.g. "make oldconfig" or
*** "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig").
***
make[2]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1
make[1]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 2
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
HOSTCC arch/x86/tools/relocs
make: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf', needed by `include/config/kernel.release'. Stop.
|
but this is the message i received when i was done with make menuconfig
| Code: | scripts/kconfig/mconf Kconfig
#
# using defaults found in arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig
#
#
# configuration written to gentoo
#
*** End of the configuration.
*** Execute 'make' to start the build or try 'make help'.
|
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong to cause this, so any help would be appreciated.

fr3eatlast,
Welcome to gentoo 
You should be in /usr/src/linux when running make menuconfig and subsequently make && make modules_install
Also check eselect kernel list to make sure the symlink is correct

Thanks for the advice BillWho.
I double and triple-checked and i am in /usr/src/linux when doing both make menuconfig and the subsequent make && make modules_install commands.
Also I checked eselect kernel list and my output was | Code: | Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-3.5.0-gentoo *
|
so I still have no idea what could be causing make to fail |

fr3eatlast,
From your error message Configuration file ".config" not found! do you have a .config file in /usr/src/linux

BillWho,
there is a .config file in /usr/src/linux
here is the output of ls /usr/src/linux | Code: | arch CREDITS drivers gentoo.config ipc kernel Makefile README scripts tools
block crypto firmware include Kbuild lib mm REPORTING-BUGS security usr
COPYING Documentation fs init Kconfig MAINTAINERS net samples sound virt
|
Thanks again for your help |

the file must me named '.config'
i see a 'gentoo.config' but not a '.config'
your end of menuconfig says you saved it this way (with the name 'gentoo')
if ls -alh /usr/src/linux/ does not show a file named '.config', there is your problem.
make is specifically looking for a file named .config

| Thanks for the advice cach0rr0. I reran make menuconfig and saved my configuration file as .config and then reran make, and it seems to be working fine now. |
