First I installed rpmdevtools so that I can build the tree later.
>fedora-buildrpmtree
After that, I installed the kernel-devel package first using yum. Then
I used yumdownloader to down load and install the kernel-source. Upto
this point everything worked fine.
Then I changed directoty to /rpmbuild/SPECS and gave the following command
>rpmbuild -bp --target $(uname -m) kernel-2.6.spec
after sometime it gave me the above error I mentioned(errors in
scripts/basic/fixdep.c)
I also tried to go to /usr/src/kernel/<kernel-ver> directory and then
located the .config file. Then I changed the extraversion of the
Makefile and try to use
>make xconfig
It compiled for sometime and gave me the
"EXACT" error like before.
Does this mean anything? What should I do now?
Thanks for help.
