</div>Edit the Makefile and add the following echo's<br>
<br>
`default:<br>
echo $(MAKE)<br>
echo $(KERNELDIR)<br>
echo $(PWD)<br>
<div> $(MAKE) -C $(KERNELDIR) M=$(PWD)<br>
<br>
</div>You can try echoing the values of the variables. The $(MAKE) is the<br>
make command used.<br>
</blockquote></div><br></div>Thanks sir, It worked. But still I couldn't understand what is the wrong in the makefile given in TLDP.org, also the if statements as said in the previous mail.<br>One more thing can I install the new kernel in a virtual machine like virtual box? if so how can I do it? coz I can't access Internet from that kernel. Suggesting some measures will be helpful.<br clear="all">
