Hi dear list,
I have heard that "make menuconfig" for kernel 2.6-beta1 is deprecated?
Am I correct? If yes then how do I get into the config?
Alos tryied to run 'make menuconfig' from tcsh and got error like:
Missing }.
Best Regards,

You are wrong - make menuconfig is still OK.
Mak sure to read the document made by dave j. before playing too much
with 2.6.
It is at: www.codemonkey.org.uk - but I cannot get in contact with it
right now.

Too little context to determine where it goes wrong.
I tried with tcsh here with success.
Try the followings steps:
1) Do not compile as root. In general does as little as possible as root.
Only the kernel installlation requires root priviliges.
2) Try to run "make -n", that may hint where is goes wrong.
3) Do not locate the kernel src in /usr/src/linux - it will conflict with
glibc header files. No matter what a HOWTO say otherwise.
4) Try another shell, for instance bash.
Not that the kernel build should rely on bash only, but an approach to
get your kernel to compile.

Hi all,
I only just noticed this, but been building kernel source for a long time. On
my 233 over ssh, it is a bit slow, and I just noticed this output when doing
a 'make menuconfig':
make[1]: `scripts/fixdep' is up to date.
scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/i386/Kconfig
optimize && ?
optimize && ?
optimize && ?
optimize && ?
Are the optimize && ? lines normal? I investigated, but can't work it out.
This is from a current tree that has an uptime of > 50 days - I just needed
to change one option in the build, so the existing .config is good.
Thanks,
Nick

They are only debug prints, but I'm quite sure they are fixed in recent
versions.

Could you specify "current tree"?
bye, Roman

Yes, sorry, my bad wording. This is kernel 2.6.4 from kernel.org. I meant
_my_ 'current' tree that runs perfect on the 233 box. I can't seem to
upgrade to later 2.6.x kernels as I get curious swapd oops after a few hours,
but that is another story.
So I can ignore the debug prints?
Thanks,
Nick

OK, thanks for your replies. I am since trying 2.6.10 again (with new GCC
version and system memory this time), and the messages do not appear in later
version of menuconfig as you stated.
