make menuconfig and make j$(nproc) throwing errors

make menuconfig and make j$(nproc) throwing errors

[Aruna Hewapathirane]

Hi,

I am trying to compile the 5.16.10 kernel and make menuconfig throws
this error below:

aruna@debian:/media/aruna/linux-next/home/linux-5.16.10$ make menuconfig
  HOSTLD  scripts/kconfig/mconf

And I tried to build without make menuconfig and make is telling me I
need 'bison' ? Why do I need bison ? Since when
did we need bison ? See below for details.

You need bison to build the kernel, sorry, please install it.

You also need libelf.

I will install libelf-dev as well thanks.

Greg, now make complains it requires 'flex' ?

aruna@debian:/media/aruna/linux-next/home/linux-5.16.10$ make -j$(nproc)
  DESCEND objtool
  HOSTCC  scripts/genksyms/parse.tab.o
  LEX     scripts/genksyms/lex.lex.c
/bin/sh: 1: flex: not found
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.host:9: scripts/genksyms/lex.lex.c] Error 127
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
  HOSTCC  scripts/extract-cert
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:549: scripts/genksyms] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [Makefile:1181: scripts] Error 2

In the early days we used to sudo apt-get install build-essential and be
done with it.
I guess a lot has changed since then. Maybe someone should update the 'what
tools
do I need' section in https://kernelnewbies.org/KernelBuild ?

Does anyone have a fix for make menuconfig error below please ?
aruna@debian:/media/aruna/linux-next/home/linux-5.16.10$ make menuconfig
  HOSTLD  scripts/kconfig/mconf
/usr/bin/ld: scripts/kconfig/confdata.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against
`.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with
-fPIE

At some point am going to need menuconfig to work again so anyone else ever
had this problem ? If you did 'how' did you resolve ?

Thanks - Aruna

Done and first compile went smooth took slightly over 40 minutes and below
is the second run...

aruna@debian:/media/aruna/linux-next/home/linux-5.16.10$ time make
-j$(nproc)
  DESCEND objtool
  CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready  (#1)

real 0m20.783s     [ pre-compiled kernel ]
user 0m54.987s
sys 0m12.117s

Now I have to install and start praying :-)

For anyone who may  be interested I had to install these to get things
going:
build-essential
libncurses-dev
libssl-dev
bison
libelf-dev
flex
bc

Make menuconfig still needs a fix :-(
