| |
Well, I figured I *must* be on the cutting edge of Linux development, since I like working with it so much.
I went out and downloaded the 2.1.17 kernel, upgraded (I think), everything to where it shoulkd be.. GCC, LD.SO, Make, etc., and I tried to compile the kernel.
I know you guys have much better things to talk about here, like GGI (which seems pretty interesting), and other neat stuff, (on a side note, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my upgrade from 1.2.13 to 2.0.27 was actually an UPGRADE -- things went along FASTER and better than before, with the same hardware. I suppose I must unlearn what I have learned from microsoft. At any rate, I digress..)
I'm at my wit's end with this problem. Anyone have any idea what I should do?
It goes through the kernel compile flawlessly, until it hits the very end. Watch:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -pipe -m386 -DCPU=386 -c -o signal.o signal.c gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__ASSEMBLY__ -traditional -c entry.S -o entry.o /tmp/cca07008.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/cca07008.s:593: Error: Unknown pseudo-op: `.rept' /tmp/cca07008.s:595: Error: Unknown pseudo-op: `.endr' make[1]: *** [entry.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kernel' make: *** [linuxsubdirs] Error 2 edgy:/usr/src/linux#
Weird errors. I have no idea what to do with it. I know that if I intend to run a "development" kernel, I should know enough to "develop" it and fix it if I can't compile it. But, really, I'm pretty good. This just stumps me. Shoot me if it's easy to fix. :-)
Anyone have any ideas? :)
Thanks. Oh, if you thought my post here was utterly useless, type yes at your linux prompt. Good day. :-)
