In preparation for linux 2.1, I recently upgraded binutils to 2.7-3, and libc5 (& -dev) to 5.4.7. While compiling 2.1.5, it bombed out saying entry.o not found (in arch/i386/kernel); entry.S was there, but for some reason wasn't compiled (assembled). I gave up at the time.
Tonight I'm trying to recompile 2.0.21 and it's dying with the same error. The Makefile in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kernel doesn't specifically mention how to compile entry.S, but it doesn't for all the .c files either. But it doesn't get compiled, so that part won't link, and it dies. If I assemble by hand, it works okay. 2.0.21 was fine before, and I've since patched up to 2.0.23 which didn't change that Makefile, and am trying it now. I've downgraded binutils and libc5 already, not yet libc5-dev but make shouldn't be troubled by that. Any ideas? :-( thanks, Hamish -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
