This is detailed in /src/UPDATING. I don't know if it's yet filtered into the handbook, but I would definitely take a look at UPDATING. (It's not so bad. Initially, I was greatly peeved that my 'config' 'make' thing had been deprecated, but I don't think the newer method is at all a pain. There are just a few more steps to it.) -J =============================== John Goodleaf goodleaf@goodleaf.net PGP key: finger goodleaf@clyde.goodleaf.net =============================== On Thu, 27 Jul 2000, David Daugherty wrote: > I just installed the kernel src and after doing > /usr/sbin/config MACHINENAME > cd ../../compile/MACHINENAME > make depend > > I get: > make: don't know how to make ../../../include/stddef.h.
