Thanks for your suggestion. I tried it, however, and attempted the make again, and got the same error. The scripts/basic directory contains a fixdep.exe after the make is run. There is no fixdep file. I tried renaming the fixdep.exe to fixdep, but that also resulted in the same make error. Any further suggestions? Thx, Chris. >From: "linux-os (Dick Johnson)" >Reply-To: "linux-os (Dick Johnson)" >To: "Chris du Quesnay" >CC: >Subject: Re: Building the kernel with Cygwin >Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2005 11:42:46 -0400 > > >On Thu, 25 Aug 2005, Chris du Quesnay wrote: > > > Hi.
