make olddefconfig cmd failing

[Sumit Kumar]

Hi,

I was following instructions given on this web page: 
https://kernelnewbies.org/OutreachyfirstpatchSetup

I get errors when I execute make olddefconfig cmd:

sumitsum at sumit-personal:~/Documents/linux_kernel/git/kernels/staging$ 
make olddefconfig
 ? HOSTCC? scripts/basic/fixdep
 ? HOSTCC? scripts/kconfig/conf.o
 ? YACC??? scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c
/bin/sh: 1: bison: not found
scripts/Makefile.lib:210: recipe for target 
'scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c' failed
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c] Error 127
Makefile:525: recipe for target 'olddefconfig' failed
make: *** [olddefconfig] Error 2

--

Thanks and Regards,

Sumit

You need to install bison. Make sure to install all other build dependencies as well (there's a list in the kernel docs).

Hi Alex,

Thanks a lot for the quick response.

I installed flex and bison. Now the errors have gone away but there are 
still some warnings:

That's fine, all should be good now, have you tried to build this
configuration?

Also, 4.13 is really old and obsolete and insecure, I strongly recommend
using 4.16 at the oldest if you are starting something new like this.

good luck!

Hi Greg,

Thanks a lot for the quick response.

The kernel seems to build fine with this configuration as well.
