I am trying to compile kernel 2.6.6 in my box (Debian testing/unstable) with no success. I've searched for a solution using google but found no matching problem.
Anyway, here's the error message:
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep HOSTCC scripts/basic/split-include HOSTCC scripts/basic/docproc In file included from /usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h:28, from /usr/include/signal.h:326, from /usr/include/sys/wait.h:30, from scripts/basic/docproc.c:41: /usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:79: error: parse error before '*' token /usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:82: error: parse error before '}' token make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/docproc] Error 1 make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2
Hrm, when I get this kind of error, it usually indicates that I've done something weird with reconfiguring or cleaning. Is this a clean source tree or have you compiled it before, then changed something?
If the latter, then it's probably worth doing a make clean before starting the make bzImage or make-kpkg kernel-image or whatever you're using to build. This is also relevant if you've upgraded your gcc between compiles (which happens from time to time on sid).
It also might be worth doing a make oldconfig to make sure that you've configured everything (especially useful for copying the .config file from an older minor version of the kernel to a new one). make oldconfig just asks you questions for the new stuff.
HTH
Cheers,
Rob.
