Debian

Sounds good!

I guess not : /

Could it be that my kernel source is improperly configured?

Because then we're kind of stuck in a loop...

Originally I was having errors during "make menuconfig" that had me trying to install glibc, the latest gcc, g++, cpp, (I have them, but one update behind) which produced the 'lib/cpp sanity check' errors.

Could cpp be missing a symbolic link? I wouldn't know where to start with that, and I doubt it but it's food for thought.

Anyway, when I try and run 'make menuconfig' from /usr/src/linux I get:

Code:

name:/usr/src/linux# make menuconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
In file included from /usr/local/include/features.h:354,
                 from /usr/include/sys/types.h:27,
                 from scripts/basic/fixdep.c:105:
/usr/local/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27: error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1
make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2

In /usr/local/include/gnu/ there is a file called 'libc-version.h' and 'stubs.h'. Is it expecting stubs-32.h? I don't know where to get it or what has it.

So... what do I do?

Well I guess I 'cheated' but it's resolved.

What happened is I thought I'd try installing wine, and it said a package was missing so I installed it via apt-get install... something to do with a digital camera, I don't remember the name and it installed a lot of packages (which I'd been trying to install before) along with it.

Then I had a problem with my graphics so I installed the latest graphics drivers which also compiled a kernel for me.

Heh. It works now at least.

By hook or by crook, eh?

Hey,

I've got the same problem with this CPP.

I'm running Debian and I want to develop some software. When I try to compile, he gives a lot of errors:

webcar-host@debian:/var/www/webcar$ gcc -c com.c -o com
In file included from /usr/local/include/features.h:354,
from /usr/include/stdio.h:28,
from com.c:1:

/usr/include/stdio.h:184: error: expected ‘=', ‘,', ‘;', ‘asm' or ‘__attribute__' before ‘extern'
/usr/include/stdio.h: In function ‘tempnam':

and so on...

So I thought maybe I need to install the gnu C lib. And when configuring this one, I get the same error message as you. I checked all the programs (gcc, cpp, make, binutils, libc6-dev) and they are all the newest version possible. So maybe using the command 'configure --disable-sanity-checks' could help. But still the same.

The problem is, that in stdio.h, he wants to include features.h, but not the one in /usr/include, but the one in /usr/local/include. And in this header, when you include gnu/stubs.h, this file wants to include a file that is not existing. But in /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h, there are just some defs.

So, how do I get the configure to use only those headers (from /usr/include) --> which options must I add.

Thanks for any reply...

Well, after a lot of research, basically the thing to do is reinstall the complete OS. Apparently installing different versions of for example gcc or cpp creates errors because every version has its one library. Those libraries are thus not compatible and what you see are errors that cannot be explained well.

So I removed everything off my hard-disk, and restarted. Installed the necessary packages for c-development (build-essential should do the job) and checked some packages were still missing. After installing some libraries (libc ect...), the compiling worked.
