linux 2.5.53 not compiling

linux 2.5.53 not compiling

[Rahul Vaidya]

When I tried to "make bzImage" the 2.5.53 it gave me the following error

In file included from include/linux/spinlock.h:13,
                 from include/linux/mmzone.h:8,
                 from include/linux/gfp.h:4,
                 from include/linux/slab.h:14,

                 from init/main.c:15:
include/linux/kernel.h:10:20: stdarg.h: No such file or directory

I am using gcc-3.2. And I did make menuconfig with default settings.

Could you try updating to 2.5.61, it is available at www.kernel.org with 
mirrors at www.xx.kernel.org where xx is the country code of the mirror.

What does:

	gcc -v -iwithprefix include -E - < /dev/null

tell you?

Have you made a softlink for gcc ? Apparently that doesn't work well
with recent gcc versions finding the headers...

It looks like gcc 3.2 thinks its compiler prefix is in a place where it
is not.  I'd suggest you report this to the gcc people; at a guess, it
may be due to gcc getting confused during its configuration:

	../gcc-3.2/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-3.2

It looks like buggy gcc configuration scripts - some parts of the compiler
seems to believe its internal headers are one place, whereas other parts
believe they're elsewhere.

The gcc I was using is a softlink. So I aliased it to the actual file and
again tried "make bzImage". It dint work :(

Re: linux 2.5.53 not compiling

[Rahul Vaidya]

Is there any way (for me) to change the configurations of gcc?

That bug only exists in GCCs about a week old, it didn't matter to 3.2.
It can cause quirkiness, though.

No, that doesn't affect the search path.  It's detecting a GCC in
/usr/local and assuming the installation was moved.  Rahul, what does
it say when you run it from its real location?

And isn't that the right directory?  Try building a kernel this way.

That's just using the one in your path again.  Is it the right one? 
What does running that exact command with -v from the kernel source dir
give you?

Thank you Daniel,

                The kernel source compiled. I changed the CC variable

I also thank Russel,Zwane and John for their help.

Thanks again.
