Building 2.5 kernels on 8.0
Hi.
Tried this on another SuSE list, with no response. Maybe here
will be better.
Having a devil of a time building a 2.5 kernel on SuSE 8.0.
Ok, call me crazy, but if you are still reading...

It would appear that your installation of 8.0 isn't complete. You apparently do not have Qt nor ncurses installed (or setup the way those configure programs want them). Try make config and use the old fashioned kernel configuration. It isn't pretty, but I haven't seen it fail in a long time. I haven't played with the 2.5 kernels, so I am assuming that the old make config is still there. -- Kelly L. Fulks Home Account

Sorry I have not compiled any of the 2.5 kernels yet. Are they using Qt for displaying in X, now? You might try downloading qt3 directly from ftp.troll.no, building it, but don't install it. Then export QTDIR=<location of build> I Find it bizarre that they would choose to use Qt in building a kernel.

Is ncurses-devel installed?
Anyone got good tips on this one? Short of "send patches to Roman"?

Happiness is a config option.
In this case you could also try 'make config' which will give you a very basic way to configure the kernel.
michael@visv.net Recompile and be happy.

Well, see Roman Zippel. Other folks have been cooking up GTK and other widget set variants. To each his/her own. Odd bit is that of course I _do_ have a qt installation, as I have SuSE stick in KDE and so forth at install time. I like having KDE utilities around, and to let Yast2 work properly (vile curses mode in 8.0 which I've heard got improved, but hey). I had tried editing the appropriate files to help the build system find my qt install, but it never seemed to work out right. Perhaps I was missing some qt-devel packages, similar to the problem below. [...]

Nope, somehow I missed that one. It did the trick to get menuconfig going. Thanks to all who replied. Michael -- Michael Fischer Happiness is a config option. michael@visv.net Recompile and be happy.
