You're absolutely right. Somehow I was under the impression that you were trying to compile Hurd on Linux. (Which is possible and not necessarily unreasonable, but rather involved as I implied earlier). If you got an error while building in a Hurd installation, can you please paste a longer error? (It is hard to say what is going wrong from the two line you pasted earlier.) You could even redirect the whole output of 'make' to a file (for instance, "make 2>&1 | tee log.txt") and attach it to your next email. Also, please indicate exactly what source you are using: did you 'git clone' or used the Debian package? Which revision did you use? > If i make some some changes in hurd or gnumach code and want it to build and > run then what to do?Don't i need to build the code that time? Yes absolutely. You might also need to build the GNU C library, since many parts of the Hurd are implemented there. Here I highly recommend you use the Debian source --- it is the only version which is known to work; the situation with the other repositories is a little bit messy. (By the way if you or someone else would like to help sorting this out, that would another possibility for a highly valuable and appreciated contribution :-) -- Jérémie Koenig <j...@jk.fr.eu.org> http://jk.fr.eu.org/
