Description Turgut Kalfaoglu 2012-03-17 20:40:52 UTC

After make menuconfig, I attempted to run make, however it gives an error

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/kernels/3.3.0-0.rc7.git0.3.fc17.x86_64/arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl', needed by `arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/asm/unistd_32.h'.  Stop.
make: *** [archheaders] Error 2

I am not sure what to do, as I have most -devel packages already installed..

Comment 1 Josh Boyer 2012-03-19 13:12:09 UTC

The kernel-devel package isn't enough to build the kernel itself.  It's meant for building other things against the kernel.  If you want to rebuild the kernel for some reason, you need to rebuild the kernel SRPM.

I get the same error when trying to make the VirtualBox Guest kernel modules for 3.5.1:

[kgerrits@fc01 3.5.1-1.fc17.x86_64]$ sudo make prepare
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/kernels/3.5.1-1.fc17.x86_64/arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl', needed by `arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/asm/unistd_32.h'.  Stop.
make: *** [archheaders] Error 2

Am I missing packages?

Comment 3 Kit Gerrits 2012-08-20 08:41:12 UTC

I have pulled the kernel modules from rpmfusion and they seem to work:
