Trouble compiling generic kernel
in [Debian]

From: Curt Howland on 24 Jul 2010 16:50 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi. Lenny, up to date with security and backports. I pulled down 2.6.35-rc6.tar.bz2 from kernel.org, and would like to try compiling it to see what's Coming Soon To A Disto Near Me. Its been about 9 years since the last time I compiled a kernel, but I'm having trouble I didn't have then. For some reason, none of the "make" things that I've used in the past are working now: =========== $ make xconfig CHECK qt * * Unable to find the QT3 installation. Please make sure that * the QT3 development package is correctly installed and * either install pkg-config or set the QTDIR environment * variable to the correct location. * make[1]: *** No rule to make target `scripts/kconfig/.tmp_qtcheck', needed by `scripts/kconfig/qconf.o'. Stop. make: *** [xconfig] Error 2 =========== =========== $ make menuconfig *** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the *** required header files. *** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries. *** *** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again. *** make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog] Error 1 make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2 =========== =========== $ make gconfig * * Unable to find the GTK+ installation. Please make sure that * the GTK+ 2.0 development package is correctly installed... * You need gtk+-2.0, glib-2.0 and libglade-2.0. * make[1]: *** No rule to make target `scripts/kconfig/.tmp_gtkcheck', needed by `scripts/kconfig/gconf.o'. Stop. make: *** [gconfig] Error 2 =========== "make config" did work, but working through everything in text is enough to make a sane person INSANE. I was surprised with the failure of menuconfig, since I have all of ncurses installed and the "ncurses-devel" suggestion isn't a Debian package name anyway.

Yes, this is only for people who are or want to become crazy. > I was surprised with the failure of menuconfig, since I have all of > ncurses installed and the "ncurses-devel" suggestion isn't a Debian > package name anyway. The -devel namespace comes from Red Hat based distributions, in Debian development packages always end in -dev and very often begin with "lib". > Suggestions? Install libncurses5-dev and use "make menuconfig" or "make nconfig" (the latter is new in 2.6.35).

Got it, and it works fine. Thank you. Not compiling often (as you can tell), I note that the compile is using only one cpu of 4 at a time. I'm sure there is a parallel compilation tweak somewhere. If it is easy, fine. If not, then forget about it, I'm not in any rush.

From the bash command line, for the current session only: export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4 To make it permanent you need to edit /home/[user]/.bash_profile and append: export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4 If you regularly do your kernel work while logged on as root, you'd need to append it to /root/.bashrc or /root/.profile -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
