Description ylitvin 2000-10-25 19:47:18 UTC 
Hey
I've downloaded 2.2.17 from www.kernel.org
I've successfully compiled 2.2.16 from src.rpm and 2.4t9, but can't compile
2.2.17 :-(
That's what I have/do:
#pwd
/usr/src/linux-2.2.17
#rpm -q kgcc
kgcc-1.1.2-40
#rpm -V kgcc
#
# grep kgcc Makefile
HOSTCC          =kgcc
# echo $CC
kgcc
#make mrproper
#make menuconfig
#make dep
#make clean
#make bzImage

And then I get:
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/mm'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/mm'
make -C  arch/i386/lib
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib'
make all_targets

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib'

Thanx in advance for your reply.

"cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/include -D__ASSEMBLY__ "
you are NOT using kgcc. Changing "hostcc" is not correct, you need to change the
"CC" instead
(around line 25), or use 2.2.18pre17 which autodetects this.
