make menuconfig doesn't work (?)

[Henry Gilbert]

I've downloaded the source
and the tools necessary to recompile the kernel
that would be a way to get sound back

but on typing make mrproper
make menuconfig I get a lot of errors

ending up with
make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1
make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2

I was wondering what you guys do to compile the kernel

pls help.

Why you recompile kernel?
#poldek -i kernel-sound-alsa alsa-utils-init
#cat /etc/modules.conf
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
)
# generate-modprobe.conf >/etc/modprobe.conf
It's all what you need.

sorry Grzegorz
but i will *need* to recompile the kernel sooner or later:

I work with :
win4lin and Vmware

and both require kernel recompilation
in the case of vmware it creates modules - no recompilation require

vmware as it stands is generating error when i run
vmware-config.pl

most likely due to kernel unfriendly to compile.

vmware
win4lin
nvidia
and evolution-1.4

are the most important thing for me for a distro
i like PLD i dont want to give up
but i also need those above for my job also

Too little input.
The real error messages are before the lines you have cited.

Generally to build kernel you must have binutils, gcc, glibc-devel and
ncurses-devel packages.

It won't work, even if it would build. Don't bother (unless you have
enough knowledge to fix the issue).
Win4Lin conflicts with some other feature from our kernel24, probably
grsecurity.
We've tested 2.4.26-1 built --with win4lin - such kernel booted, but
running win4lin caused whole machine to reboot.
Vanilla 2.4.26 with Win4Lin patches works.

Well, strictly speaking ncurses-devel isn't required to build kernel
- it's required only for menuconfig.
