Kernel compilation error

I tried to compile the Linux kernel.

I am getting the following error: -

"There is no rule for creating a target arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.o', needed by

arch / x86 / kernel / built-in.o '."

Before that, I configured the kernel (did nothing except the default parameters). configured the kernel using the "make gconfig" command. The configuration has been generated. I am using x86 32 bit machine (Fedora 9), version 2.6.30.

Finally, I used: - "make bzImage" to compile.

Tried to search the net for a solution but to no avail. How do I fix these errors? Please help.

Thank,

Sourabh

You need to call make before make bzImage.



making it clean or doing mrproper might help to hang too much as far as you've messed up already.

I agree with the previous answer, you should see how to compile the kernel, fedora path ( here ). Not sure if this is still relevant, but it is sometimes helpful to use the provided tools.

You may not have actually configured your kernel. Have you used any "make config", "make menuconfig", "make xconfig"?

Are you using x86 or x86_64 distribution? In the latter case, you need an x86 32 bit compilation environment.

Tip: This is a poorly asked question. You have not provided any relevant information: Linux distribution and architecture, the kernel version you want to compile, the commands you tried, and the messages you received.
