Hello Paul
I am feeling little stupid now , I have been trying to build kernel
for last 2 weeks but am stuck till now.
I tried the following the steps mentioned at the link
http://crab-lab.zool.ohiou.edu/kevin/kernel-compilation-tutorial-en/steps.html
but couldn't even pass through the first step mentioned in the doc.
That is
~/.rpmmacros
couldn't find this file in my installation.
That's because it's a file you're supposed to create, it's not an existing file. I think that could be clearer in the instructions though.
But than I went to the fourth step
â Install Source
Use rpm to install the kernel source code. rpm -ihv kernel-XXX.src.rpm
but got the error as I had mentioned in my last mail.
That's because, without the ~/.rpmmacros file, it'll try to install the source in /usr/src/redhat, which you'd need to be root to be able to do.
Paul.
