Hi List, I am newbie to Linux world. Please help me. I have RH-7.0 with linux kernel 2.2.16-22. I am trying to build the kernel for experimentation. Please note that I have not modified the kernel (or any other) source in my machine. Build is not going through. I followed normal build process suggested by linux gurus : make menuconfig make dep make clean make bzImage The first three make is going through fine. Please note that I did not modify the kernel build configuration in menuconfig. I simply saved the default configuration and exited. .config, .depend and .hdepend were created properly. 'make bzImage' or 'make zImage' fails and exits with the following error: ------------------------------------------------------ kgcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -DUTS_MACHINE='"i386"' -c -o init/version.o init/version.c make -C kernel make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/kernel' make all_targets make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/kernel' kgcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c ksyms.c In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/modversions.h:50, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/module.h:19, from ksyms.c:14: /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/modules/i386_ksyms.ver:6: warning: `cpu_data' redefined /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm/processor.h:96: warning: this is the location of the previous definition /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/modules/i386_ksyms.ver:28: warning: `smp_num_cpus' redefined /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/smp.h:77: warning: this is the location of the previous definition /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/modules/i386_ksyms.ver:118: warning: `smp_call_function' redefined /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/smp.h:83: warning: this is the location of the previous definition In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/interrupt.h:51, from ksyms.c:21: /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm/hardirq.h:23: warning: `synchronize_irq' redefined /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/modules/i386_ksyms.ver:138: warning: this is the location of the previous definition In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/interrupt.h:52, from ksyms.c:21: /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm/softirq.h:75: warning: `synchronize_bh' redefined /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/modules/i386_ksyms.ver:142: warning: this is the location of the previous definition /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/kernel_stat.h: In function `kstat_irqs': In file included from ksyms.c:17: /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/kernel_stat.h:47: `smp_num_cpus' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/kernel_stat.h:47: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/kernel_stat.h:47: for each function it appears in.) make[2]: *** [ksyms.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/kernel' make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/kernel' make: *** [_dir_kernel] Error 2 -------------------------------------------------- Please let me know what is wrong with my build process or source code.
