Edit the makefile in the /usr/src/linux directory, and change every 'gcc' to
'kgcc' .  Hope that helps.

Subject: Compiling 2.2.17 on RH7


Anyone having problems accomplishing this?  I've compiled 2.2.17 on RH 6.2
systems with no problems.


make dep seems to go ok, but make bzImage or make zImage fails.
The error I'm getting is:

<snip>
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib'
cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__ASSEMBLY__ -D__SMP__
-traditional -c checksum.S -o checksum.o
checksum.S:231: badly punctuated parameter list in #define
checksum.S:237: badly punctuated parameter list in #define
make[2]: *** [checksum.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib'
make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib'
make: *** [_dir_arch/i386/lib] Error 2
</snip>

I've visually inspected the lines in question and compared them against the
2.2.17 source on another system that I successfully compiled it on.

I have tried with kernel config defaults and the changes I typically make to
compile in networking, scsi drivers and some masq stuff.

Any thoughts?

Thank you
Charles
