speakup on gentoo (was Patching the Gentoo 2.6.24 kernel)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I got the newest 2.6.24 kernel from kernel.org, unpacked it, did cd 
/usr/src/linux-2.6.24.3/drivers/arch and git clone 
http://linux-speakup.org/speakup.git and it downloaded it.  I then did 
./install /usr/src/linux-2.6.24.3 and that worked.  When I did make 
menuconfig, however, it errored out and said it couldn't find kconfig in 
/usr/src/linux-2.6.24/drivers/arch/speakup or something like that.  This 
also happened with 2.6.24.
