How do I know you're using GNU make? With the standard BSD make, your error message will look like: "Makefile", line 1: Need an operator make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue GNU make gives a: Makefile:1: *** missing separator. Stop. The kernel build system *requires* that you use the base system's make(1) utility and not some 3rd party import. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "I don't want to achive immortality through my works..
