I started to learn Linux SuSe 7.1 and at moment analyze how Kernel is build. In Kernel HOWTO is written that command 'make config' invokes building Kernel, however I receive message **no rule to make target 'config' . Stop** . Where I can get more detail explanation on configuring system to work 'make config' correctly ?
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
