Kernel compilation not finding .config file
linux, linux-kernel, terminal, ubuntu
Solution
I got it to compile now by doing make O=$BUILD oldconfig and also by doing a make mrproper in my kernel directory, and then running make O=$BUILD again.
Problem
EDIT: Solved it, check my comment below. I'm trying to compile a kernel with make O=$BUILD Where build is the build path: BUILD=~/lab/build But then I get this error: ``` *** Configuration file ".config" not found! *** *** Please run some configurator (e.g. "make oldconfig" or *** "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"). *** make[3]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1 make[2]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 2 make[1]: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf', needed by`include/config/kernel.release'. Stop. ``` Before I compiled I used the old config file for the new kernel by copying it to my kernel folder: ``` cp -vi /boot/config-3.13.0-45-generic .config ``` and then i ran: ``` make oldconfig ``` and entered all defaults. How can I fix the error?
