failed kernel 2.4.2 build after applying the patch ac28

failed kernel 2.4.2 build after applying the patch ac28

[MEHTA,HIREN (A-SanJose,ex1)]

Hi All,

I tried to build the 2.4.2 kernel after applying patch ac28
(patch-2.4.2-ac28) and it failed :-((

When it failed it gave the following message :

*** Install db development libraries

I thought kernel build should be independent of any userland libraries.

Any thoughts ?

TIA

i think this is because aicasm (the assembler for the aha7xxx scsi
firmware) uses db1 to build itself.  are you compiling aha7xxx support
into the kernel?

upgrade to the newest kernel (2.4.5-ac18) and rebuilding the firmware is
optional, so you won't need the berekely db libraries.

The kernel is, the tools are not

then why the kernel build is failing ?

Yes, I am trying to compile aic7xxx support into the kernel.

Do you know from where can I get the berkeley db libraries ? Currently I do 
not want to upgrade my kernel. If you can suggest some changes to makefiles/
config files which will skip the steps to build the firmware, that would
also be great.
