Compilation error : Syntax error

[LucasMahieu]

Hey,

I try to test this on ARM A9,
I tried ' sudo make runtests' and i have this error :

scripts/basic/fixdep: 1: scripts/basic/fixdep: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expected ")")

Do you know what can be the cause ?

[LucasMahieu]

this kind of problem can be solved by doing :
cd /usr/linux
sudo make modules_prepare
make module_install

A had this error too and this solved it:
scripts/mod/modpost: 1: scripts/mod/modpost: ��: not found

I also had tis error :
make: *** /lib/modules/3.14.28/build: No such file or directory

In order to go trough, i did :
ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/3.14.28/build
where /usr/src/linux is a symbolic link to my linux kernel sources that I compiled myself

If you are using a Linux distribution, like Ubuntu, CentOS, when you install Kernel header files, it will link /usr/src/linux to /lib/module/{uname -a}/build automatically. If you are using a customised Linux, you may need to do it by yourself. Because some userspace tools (and third party driver installers) can access the source for the running kernel.
