You should have told us just what you are tying to do and how you are trying to achive it, yes one can see you are compiling, but what commands did you do beforehand, no way should you need to change Makefiles period, you may want to edit the Top dir Makefile and add an EXTRAVERSION number tho'. which may well save you a lot of problems if you succed in compiling and then the kernel wont boot. Anyway, your directory sructure is broken, as i see it you have a directory or a symlink called /usr/src/inux-sh-2.4.18 you can have your source in any directory you want, _however_ you are well advised to create a symlink called linux pointing to where ever your source is, here is an example. cd /usr/src ls -al linux -> linux-sh-2.4.18 linux-sh-2.4.18 > > gcc -Wall -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE > -I/usr/src/linux-sh-2.4.18//include -O -g > -DSNULL_DEBUG -I.. -M snull.c > .depend > In file included from > /usr/src/linux-sh-2.4.18/include/linux/config.h:4, > from snull.c:25: > /usr/include/linux/autoconf.h:1:2: #error Invalid > kernel header included in userspace > In file included from snull.c:51: > /usr/src/linux-sh-2.4.18/include/asm/checksum.h:72:30: > warning: multi-line string literals are deprecated > /usr/src/linux-sh-2.4.18/include/asm/checksum.h:105:17: > warning: multi-line string literals are deprecated > /usr/src/linux-sh-2.4.18/include/asm/checksum.h:121:13: > warning: multi-line string literals are deprecated > /usr/src/linux-sh-2.4.18/include/asm/checksum.h:161:17: > warning: multi-line string literals are deprecated > make: *** [.depend] Error 1 All the errors are from 'depend' that means you possably have NOT configured your kernel to start with. For a quick HOWTO on making kernels goto; http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/kernel.htm Its old but is still valid for 2.4.x kernels. Or read the README in the kernel source or read the Kernel-HOWTO found mostly in /usr/share/doc/* Or http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Kernel-HOWTO.html > thanks. -- If the Linux community is a bunch of theives because they try to imitate windows programs, then the Windows community is built on organized crime.
