Which part of Kernel contains /Documnetation/DocBook?

[hutx]

I am buliding a project which needs to complile linux
Kernel.
It builds
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686/Documentation/DocBook/Makefile.
I do have the dir
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686/. But I do not
have the dir Documentation/DocBook. I want to use
"make menuconfig" to install it. I do not know which
one item I need to select.

Please help me. Thanks a lot.

Generally it's wrong to compile the linux kernel into /usr/src/.  You
should download the Linux source code from http://www.kernel.org/
where you can choose the precise version you are looking for.

By the way, I don't know if Fedora does provide some particular kernel
patches you should also apply (obviously at your choice), but I guess
yes.

Thank Giuseppe.

Can I use make menuconfig to install or compile
compile to get this dir?

No.  the "make menuconfig" command is useful to _configure_ your
kernel *before* compiling.  Configuring a kernel means that you
specify which functionalities your kernel should include.

For more detailed information, read the "README" file you can find in
the Linux tarball or at this URL:

Bye.
