Were you cd'ed into the directory that had the base of the kernel source tree?

Hint: the directory should look something like this:

[/usr/src/linux-next] ls
COPYING        Module.symvers  certs	 kernel		    patches	      signing_key.x509	vmlinux.o
CREDITS        Next	       crypto	 lib		    reverts	      sound		x509.genkey
Documentation  README	       drivers	 localversion-next  samples	      tags
Kbuild	       System.map      firmware  mm		    sched.h.patch     tools
Kconfig        arch	       fs	 modules.builtin    scripts	      usr
LICENSES       block	       include	 modules.order	    security	      virt
MAINTAINERS    build.default   init	 net		    signing_key.pem   vmlinux
Makefile       built-in.a      ipc	 null.dwo	    signing_key.priv  vmlinux-gdb.py

(Some files won't be there until you have a successful build - but the COPYING,
CREDITS, and MAINTAINERS files should be there.  If they aren't there, you're
in the wrong directory....
