Description Michael Labhard 2002-12-01 16:44:05 UTC

emerged vanilla-sources today and got 2.4.20.  However, build fails 
while trying to build bzImage with:[code]make: *** No rule to make 
target `include/linux/autoconf.h', needed by `include/config/MARKER'.  
Stop.[/code] Indeed there is no autoconf.h in /usr/src/linux/include/.  
Unmerged 2.4.20 and emerge 2.4.19, which was the previous kernel and it, 
too, now will not build with the same problem.  No other sources on this 
machine than 2.4.19.

Complete "make dep && make clean bzImage" output attached.

Hey, mjc... didn't you tell me how to deal with this once?

Comment 3 Michael Labhard 2002-12-01 18:28:48 UTC

Turns out that this problem arises if one tries to use an old .config file 
without writing it again with menuconfig.  Simply writing the .config without 
making changes resolved the problem.  Sorry for interrupting your weekend.
