make xconfig problem

sula · 2005-12-23 19:52:06

Hey i'm trying to build up custom kernel ,but i when i do

linux-2.6.14]# make xconfig
  HOSTCXX scripts/kconfig/qconf.o
scripts/kconfig/qconf.h:25: error: extra qualification 'ConfigSettings::' on member 'readSizes'
scripts/kconfig/qconf.h:26: error: extra qualification 'ConfigSettings::' on member 'writeSizes'
scripts/kconfig/qconf.h:127: error: extra qualification 'ConfigList::' on member 'updateMenuList'
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf.o] Błąd 1

make menuconfig works ok ,i also tried clean vanilla kernel(same error message) to eliminate patchset problem

Also tried to redownload qt package ,but that doesent help(i'm using qt-3.3.5-3 )

You´re doing that as root?

sula · 2005-12-23 22:37:17

yup

AndyRTR · 2005-12-23 22:41:53

Try it as usual user ;-)

Very funny ,really... I really appreciate your willing to help but please dont give me such advices.

That's actually a serious response. I find that I cannot run any X applications under root, whereas I can run them as a user.

Theres no need to be compiling kernels as root anyway.

If the error keeps persisting, try make gconfig or make menuconfig.

yeah...and install fakeroot when your building packages as regular user to ensure proper root ownership on the files are preserved.

Yes this was serious response ,too harsh i agree and i dont have an explanation ,i'm feeling a little guilty throu...

Propably because "Magic Cookie"(or what it is called) settings.I personally can run every X application under root.

Yes i know ,i've understand first AndyRTR reply as "do you have tried run xconfig under root also?"And i was irritiated by second one phrase reply.
I tried of course run xconfig under normal user with the same effect as under root...

If the error keeps persisting, try make gconfig or make menuconfig.

Yeah it works under make menuconfig (havent tried gconfig but i believe it will work) ,but i really prefer xconfig it is just more comfortable.

Thanks for reply

Afaik gconfig is the same as xconfig, except it uses gtk rather than qt.

sula · 2005-12-25 00:11:39

Sorry ,my mistake.I didnt know ,was certain that gconfig was some text/console based configuration tool.Every day i learn that i dont know many things.
Thank you ,gconfig works perfectly Now i just have to find some spare time to cofigure my kernel...
