Subject: liux-2.6.22.tar.gz kernel
compile throwing error messages
Hi All,
I have dev box setup on VMware workstation 6.0. In which I have rhel3 U8 AS OS.
Where I am compiling linux-2.6.22.tar.gz kernel.
Steps:-
- downloaded the linux-2.6.22.tar.gz
- extracted it as
#tar -zxvf linux-2.6.22.tar.gz
#cd linux-2.6.22
- configure it as
#make defconfig
- checked dependency
#make dep (there is not dependency at all)
- compiled it as
#make
At last i hit the following warning messages.

Is I am missing something? Can anybody help me here.
I think u should be using RHEL 9 , and
after downloading the 2.6.22 source code, u just need to do
1. make config/xconfig(whichever xconfig
gives u GUI interface)
2. make 2> /dev/null
So I am just wondering whether you need
make defconfig at all. Please let me know anyone whether I am correct on this,
I feel that from 2.6 kernel onwards we don’t need make dep.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
-DD
