When working with these Very Recent sources, its important to have required versions of the software. After installing sources, do a grep ";" /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.0-test11/Documentation/Changes
which picks out a table relating how to test versions of critical software: o Gnu C 2.91.66 # gcc --version o Gnu make 3.77 # make --version o binutils 2.9.1.0.25 # ld -v o util-linux 2.10o # kbdrate -v o modutils 2.3.18 # insmod -V o e2fsprogs 1.19 # tune2fs --version o pcmcia-cs 3.1.21 # cardmgr -V o PPP 2.4.0 # pppd --version o isdn4k-utils 3.1beta7 # isdnctrl 2>&1|grep version Which is on top of the 2.2.nn requirements grepped with (say): grep " ; " /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17/Documentation/Changes After thus satisfied version requirements, and using the UnStable kernel-package.deb and pcmcia-source, several compiles have proceeded without problems. Also make sure you have the bin86.deb needed for PC architechure. MarvS ================================ Hi all, I use potato with dpkg and debhelper from woody. When I try to compile 2.4.0-test11-pre7 after configuring it and doing a make-kpkg I get an error saying that i386-none is not in remapping table and not found in arch. So I have to specify --arch=i386. Doing this I get after a while of compiling a make 1 error saying that i386-linux-gcc could not be found. Doing an ln -s gcc i386-linux-gcc in /usr/bin I get i386-linux-ld command not found again with error make 1. So what is the proper way to do this, respectively, what am I doing wrong.
