Thank you Hamza I will try to do so.

Hello,

It has been some time since I needed to compile a kernel and I have this problem now. *** Compiler is too old.

What would be the sanest way to do this? Meaning upgrade gcc and friends ? Please see below for details:

make menuconfig gives me this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- aruna@debian:/media/aruna/linux-next/home/linux-5.16.10$ make menuconfig *** *** Compiler is too old. *** Your GCC version: 4.9.2 *** Minimum GCC version: 5.1.0 *** scripts/Kconfig.include:44: Sorry, this compiler is not supported. scripts/kconfig/Makefile:48: recipe for target 'menuconfig' failed make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 1 Makefile:619: recipe for target 'menuconfig' failed make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and make -j3 gives me this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- aruna@debian:/media/aruna/linux-next/home/linux-5.16.10$ make -j3 Makefile:661: include/config/auto.conf: No such file or directory Makefile:709: include/config/auto.conf.cmd: No such file or directory SYNC include/config/auto.conf.cmd HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf *** *** Compiler is too old. *** Your GCC version: 4.9.2 *** Minimum GCC version: 5.1.0 *** scripts/Kconfig.include:44: Sorry, this compiler is not supported. scripts/kconfig/Makefile:77: recipe for target 'syncconfig' failed make[2]: *** [syncconfig] Error 1 Makefile:619: recipe for target 'syncconfig' failed make[1]: *** [syncconfig] Error 2 Makefile:731: recipe for target 'include/config/auto.conf.cmd' failed make: *** [include/config/auto.conf.cmd] Error 2 aruna@debian:/media/aruna/linux-next/home/linux-5.16.10$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really do not want to install the latest Debian unless there is no other way ?

Thank you, Aruna
