Description Bassem Jamaleddine 2000-10-17 15:07:51 UTC 
The smp.h  header file defines symbols used during the 'make of the
kernel', if
not defined the Makefile exit due to an error. To remedy the problem, 
either define
the __SMP__ by passing it on the command line, or edit the smp.h file and
delete
the '#ifdef  __SMP__'  with its #endif.

Can you name some of the symbols, this souns like the famous "make mrproper"
bug.
(dupe of 18912 in that case)
Comment 3 Robert Dowling 2000-12-04 23:32:03 UTC 
If it's what I had trouble with, the symbol "smp_num_cpus" is
undefined when kernel_stat.h is being parsed.  Removing the #define as
suggested gets me further, but then it blows up on line 26 of smp.h
when compiling i386_ksyms.c.  I finally gave up and did "make mrproper"
and life was good.

You need to run 'make mrproper' first.
