Question about kernel compilation from wiki

cinan · 2009-08-22 12:08:24

Hello,
I compile kernel in line with arch wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … rom_Source). In paragraph '2. With makepkg and pacman (Recommended)' are lines:
mv [kernel location]/* src/
cp -r [kernel location]/* src/

Does it make sense? First I move [kernel location] to src/ (I think it should be '/src/') and then I copy nonexistent [kernel location] to the same path.
Thanks

#edit:
I looked through word 'either' So now I'm not sure with this:
(my build directory is ~/kernelbuild)
1. in ~/kernelbuild create 'src' directory
2. copy ~/kernelbuild/linux-2.6.30.5/* src/
Am I right?

Hello cinan!

What's the exact output error by you ?

I was confused about that paths... I tried what I wrote (first and second step) and it worked. So now's everything OK. Tomorrow I'll do some little changes in the wiki page (just for better understanding)

Okay. What's the problem with the wiki page?

Commands are correct, but as I said I was little confused about names/terms (eg kernel location-kernel source, making directory usr). I hope the wiki page will be more clear for users who never compiled custom kernel.
