G'day.
Something has changed since 2.0.6 to make the Linux patches for gated
at ftp.redhat.com to stop working for at least some people.
The result of this as yet unidentified change is that the build process
can no longer find the mkdep script and this leads to all sorts of strange
messages about things not being supported by Linux, header files not
found and so on.
I do not yet have a proper fix but as an interim, please use the following:
1. edit the Linux autoconfig script (...../src/configs/LINUX-i486.conf)
and add a new line before the path_unix line. This line should say:
mkdep mkdep
2. run make autoconf but stop at the point where it offers you the
chance to edit the generated configuration.
3. Edit the generated Config file (...../src/obj.LINUX....../Config)
and change the line that says
mkdep util/mkdep
to say
mkdep ../util/mkdep
4. make config
5. make
6. make install
If anyone can unscramble the autoconfig scripts to automate the above
step 3, please let me know. I cannot see it today.
Cheers,
Stephen.
