I started to learn Linux SuSe 7.1 and at moment analyze how Kernel is build.

Actually, 'make config' _configures_ the .config file. I'd recommend using 'make menuconfig' though, because it's prettier and you can undo your choices.

However 'make menuconfig' results with the same message: **no rule to make target 'menuconfig' . Stop**

What directory are you in when you 'make config'? You need to be where the sources is, usually at /usr/src/linux. Are you sure you have the sources installed?

I execute command in directory /usr/src/linux (actualy this is link, which links to linux-2.4.0.SuSE with source). Also are installed 'modutils', even installed 'make'. Kestutis

I don't think you have the entire kernel source code installed. ----- Original Message ----- From: lims To: Kestutis Saldziunas ; Sent: Friday, September 21, 2001 5:17 PM Subject: RE: [SLE] Kerbel building: 'make config' command

and you are right... i confused versions lx_sus24 with lx_sus22 :) but now I faced another problem : after I execute 'make menuconfig' error apears that curses.h file does not exist (in dialog.h is line #include CURSES_LOC) That is about ? Thanks for help. p.s. Sorry for such a level question :)

You also need to install ncurses-devel . YaST2 will tell you what CD it's on... That package includes all the files you need to compile a ncurses program. -- noodlez: Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 0x3A1446A0
