I tried the procedure you (and a couple of others) suggested. I currently
have debian 0.93R6 installed and am trying to compile the kernel from
devel/source-1.3.64-0.deb
Unfortunately, when I run "./debian.rules kernel_image" I get
make: *** No rule to make target `kernel_image'. Stop.
Am I doing something wrong?
I also tried doing "make zImage" I get
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-1.3.64/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -pipe -m486 -malign-loops=2
-malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586 -DNFS_ROOT="\"/tftpboot/%s\"" -c
-o init/main.o init/main.c
cc1: Invalid option `align-loops=2'
cc1: Invalid option `align-jumps=2'
cc1: Invalid option `align-functions=2'
make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1
I do have gcc version 2.6.3 so I don't think that should be a problem.
Any ideas?
Richard..
