Description Joonas Niilola gentoo-dev 2022-05-20 06:53:29 UTC
On a binpkg-driven system when emerging a kernel with genkernel:

* kernel: >> Initializing ...
*         >> Running 'make mrproper' ...
*         >> --no-oldconfig is set; Skipping 'make oldconfig' ...
*         >> Invoking menuconfig ...
/bin/sh: line 1: flex: command not found
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.host:9: scripts/kconfig/lexer.lex.c] Error 127
make: *** [Makefile:619: menuconfig] Error 2


* kernel: >> Initializing ...
*         >> Running 'make mrproper' ...
*         >> --no-oldconfig is set; Skipping 'make oldconfig' ...
*         >> Invoking menuconfig ...
/bin/sh: line 1: bison: command not found
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.host:17: scripts/kconfig/parser.tab.h] Error 127
make: *** [Makefile:619: menuconfig] Error 2


/bin/sh: line 1: bc: command not found
make[1]: *** [Kbuild:24: include/generated/timeconst.h] Error 127
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [Makefile:1191: prepare0] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....


After installing:
Installing (1 of 1) sys-devel/flex-2.6.4-r1::gentoo
Installing (2 of 2) sys-devel/bison-3.8.2::gentoo
Installing (1 of 1) sys-devel/bc-1.07.1-r3::gentoo

genkernel builds the kernel just fine.

I wonder if genkernel always requires (or at least defaults on) the option which drags in flex & bc & bison.

Anyway, doesn't really matter, as kernel-2.eclass even depends on these:
                app-arch/cpio
                dev-lang/perl
                sys-devel/bc
                sys-devel/bison
                sys-devel/flex
                sys-devel/make
                >=sys-libs/ncurses-5.2
                virtual/libelf
                virtual/pkgconfig
