hi everyone, im a kernel newbie. im using a debian linux(ie ubuntu).i did cross compilation for ia64 on my system which is ia32. Now im trying to cross compile ia64 kernel but im getting some error. before compiling kernel, i did made changes in Makefile to specify my ia64-linux compiler and libraries . when i gave make menuconfig command i got following errors root@atoka-desktop:/linux-2.6.18# make ARCH=ia64 menuconfig HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep scripts/basic/fixdep.c: In function 'use_config': scripts/basic/fixdep.c:204: error: 'PATH_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function) scripts/basic/fixdep.c:204: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once scripts/basic/fixdep.c:204: error: for each function it appears in.) scripts/basic/fixdep.c:204: warning: unused variable 's' scripts/basic/fixdep.c: In function 'parse_dep_file': scripts/basic/fixdep.c:300: error: 'PATH_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function) scripts/basic/fixdep.c:300: warning: unused variable 's' make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1 make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2 i tried defining the PATH_MAX macro in fixdep.c to 100, but then it gave error in some other file.
