- Yesterday I got Linux SLS 0.99-47 (???) from tsx-11.mit.edu and installed
- it without any problems. I then went to get Linux to boot from my hard
- drive and it failed. My next thought was to recompile the kernel to get
- a new image to put on my boot partition, I wanted to rebuild the kernel
- anyway. So I went into /usr/src/linux and entered:
-
- /usr/src/linux# make dep
-
- It went fine for a little bit, then died as below:
-
- gcc -DKERNEL -E -M *.c > .depend
- gcc -DKERNEL -E -M *.c > .depend
- gcc -DKERNEL -E -M *.c > .depend
- inode.c:22: #error The iso9660 filesystem can only be used with CDROM.
- make[2]: *** [dep] Error 1
- make[1]: *** [dep] Error 1
- make: *** [dep] Error 1
-
- I continued anyway to make the kernel by entering:
-
- /usr/src/linux# make
-
- It compiled many of the source files and then died as follows:
-
- make[2]: `ext.o' is up to date.
- msdos
- make[2]: `msdos.o' is up to date.
- proc
- make[2]: `proc.o' is up to date.
- net
- for i in tcp; do (cd $i && echo $i && make) || exit; done
- tcp
- make[2]: *** No way to make target `/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h'. Stop.
- make[1]: *** [subdirs] Error 1
- make: *** [linuxsubdirs] Error 1
-
- Does anyone know what might be going on here. Linux appears to work fine
- if I boot off my boot floppy. I should be able to build the kernel. Maybe
- someone out there has seen this or can tell what I did wrong.
-
- Thanks for your help.
