Problem with 6.7.1. Installation of Linux API Headers

basheer · 10-07-2010, 11:15 AM

Hi all,
After chrooting and doing the things as described in LFS book I get the following error.

root:/# make mrproper
make: *** No rule to make target `mrproper'. Stop.
root:/#

I'm using the LFSlivecd.

Can someone please throw light on it?
thanx.

Hi,

Did you unpack the linux kernel package, enter the created dir and issue the make mrproper command?

Assuming you are building LFS 6.7 stable, I'm talking about this package: linux-2.6.35.4.tar.bz2

Hope this helps.

Just noticed your other post and it seems you are building LFS 6.6, which means you should unpack this package: linux-2.6.32.8.tar.bz2

Hi druuna, After creating /etc/passwd and /etc/group I'm not getting the 'I have no name!' prompt. And I'm not able to access the /mnt/lfs/sources to unpack the linux-2.6.32.8.tar.bz2. Please help.

Hi,

Did you enter the chrooted environment and re-activate the mountpoints before you continued?
I'm talking about this: 6.4. Entering the Chroot Environment (mind the Note at the end!!).

Hope this helps.
