I have just installed 2.0 of BSD and now I need to compile a new kernel to use PPP. I have added the correct options to my kernel file as well as cleaned up the file a little. the following happens in sequence: cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ ;Works Fine cp GENERIC LOCAL ;Works Fine vi LOCAL ;Works Fine config LOCAL ;Works Fine cd /usr/src/sys/compile/LOCAL ;Works Fine make depend ;Works Fine make ;Here is where all hell breaks loose, After I issue the above command the system tells me that libkern needs to be compiled first. do: cd ../../sys/libkern make obj make depend make The book also tells me this: So, I do: cd ../../sys/libkern ;Works Fine make obj ;Returns: /usr/src/sys/libkern -> /usr/obj/sys/libkern make depend ;Returns: make: don't know how to make adddi3.c. Stop. make ;Returns: make: don't know how to make adddi3.c. Stop. until I get past this I con't recompile any new kernels, Please help me, I'm almost ready to teach my computer to fly.
