Around 02:52am on Saturday, September 01, 2007 (UK time), mcforum(a)bellsouth.net scrawled:
The section on building ones own kernel seems to no longer be in the
install documentation or otherwise in the wiki and my memory is
missing details. Google dredged up a copy of the older document.
I've installed all the pieces I could find but none of the usual ways
of modifying .config will work. Make menuconfig is missing curses.h.
Other parts are missing from make xconfig. yum whatprovides has
nothing to do. I really want to build the kernel module to read my
hpfs partitions. I suppose I could ignore the warnings and just edit
.config. Is there a new method that I haven't found the button box
for or What?
I suspect "yum install ncurses-devel" will give you curses.h, though I
don't know why "yum whatprovides curses.h" doesn't work (it doesn't
work
on my system either).
