|
|
Hello People,
I´m a newbie and my English is not very good. Tried to install gentoo into my Virtualbox. I followed the steps from the Handbook till "make menuconfig". The answer was: make: no rule to make target " menuconfig" Stop. In folder usr/src/ there is linux and linux-3.5.7-gentoo. In folder linux there is linux-3.5.7-gentoo in white letters on red ground. My promptname is (chroot) livecd. It´s the first time i tried to install gentoo. Till now i´ve used Ubuntu in Dualboot with Windows Vista. My PC crashed and the technician reinstalled Windows so Ubuntu isn´t there anymore. That why i tried the way with VirtualBox.
Thank you very much _________________ ...wer, wie, was...wieso, weshalb, warum...wer nicht fragt bleibt dumm...

Most likely this is simple. Just be sure that the /usr/src/linux symlink points to your emerged kernel source, like this Code: | # ls -ld /usr/src/linux
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Oct 30 07:41 /usr/src/linux -> linux-3.5.7-gentoo
| (your may be a different kernel version), and make sure you're actually in that directory before you run "make menuconfig", like so Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig | You should be fine.

Thank you |
typically using eselect, e.g.
Code: |
# eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-3.6.1-gentoo
[2] linux-3.6.2-gentoo
[3] linux-3.6.5-gentoo
# eselect kernel set 3
hplaptop ~ # eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-3.6.1-gentoo
[2] linux-3.6.2-gentoo
[3] linux-3.6.5-gentoo *

if you are not doing 'make menuconfig' from within the kernel sources directory, you will get the "no rule to make target: menuconfig" (or, more generally, doing 'make' without a Makefile will give you similar errors) _________________ Lost configuring your system?
