How should the symbolic links be setup to compile the latest kernel?
Currently I had these links and kernels compiled fine until 2 days ago.
asm -> /usr/src/linux/include/uapi/asm-generic/
asm-generic -> /usr/src/linux/include/uapi/asm-generic
linux -> /usr/src/linux/include/uapi/linux
# make
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

Which ought to have its own copies, normally coming from make headers_install in kernel source. And yes, it had been that way for many years by now. Userland should *not* blindly grab the kernel headers. Incidentally, your 'asm' is obviously bogus - the headers that should end up there ought to come from arch/<whatever>/include/uapi/asm (and _not_ by pointing a symlink to it); yours points to the place where asm-generic ones ought to have been copied from. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Al, Thanks for the pointers. Will try as what you suggested:) Merry Christmas. Jeff ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
